I had a very bad experience with poison ivy.  It looked like I had 3rd degree burns,  My mom bought me 4 quarts of honey suppposedly made from poison ivy.  I still get it occasionally but not nearly as severe.  I also take Vitamin C and Bioflavinoids when I expect to be exposed or have been exposed.

If  it works to use honey or milk from any animal who consumed our local poison ivy, it would be another reason to buy local.
