Prayers up indeed! Did they not give him oral antibiotic prescription?

Best way to heal poison ivy is still the old fashioned way - dry it up. It’s the liquid from sores which helps the toxin spread. Calamine lotion still works great for that. And...no scratching!

Sorry, failed to mention that. He got a shot of steroids, a prescription for steroids and cephalexin (antibiotic). I will have to see if we have calamine and get that on the rash on his feet. If not, will alcohol work to dry it out?
