Instructions
Making the paste and applying
1. Scoop 3 teaspoons of a small bowl. Make sure the bowl is clean and dry.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of warm water to the baking soda, and mix into a paste. If the paste is too thin, add a little more baking soda. Reverse the ratio if it is too thick. Just make sure it is thick enought to cling well to your skin without running.
3. Apply the paste to the areas afflicted with the poison ivy, and allow to dry. Repeat this process if you still find the itching has not lessened enough.
