Last year I made a solution of chickweed and apple cider vinegar. When you dilute it with water, you can put it on places where you've contracted poison ivy and it makes it stop itching. I haven't tried it until today. I picked up some dead branches in the yard that I had trimmed a couple days ago. I don't know it I have poison ivy but my arm started itching and turning red where I'd held the branches. So I put some on it. It still itches a little but it's not as red. You make it by picking the chickweed and putting it in the vinegar and leave it for a couple days. Then you strain out the chickweed. You dilute with water (about fifty-fifty) and put it on the itchy places. Thought I'd pass it on.

Hey there. I'm new to the forum (joined yesterday), so I just found your poison ivy treatment. Thanks for sharing! My yard is full of chickweed. I'm going to make a batch of this...in case. :)

Yes, it seems to have worked! My arm is fine now, no itchiness and no redness.
