Black tea for your itch!Resins in the leaves of poison ivy, sumac or oak can cause allergic rashes. Right after exposure, avoid touching other areas of the body, especially around the eyes and spreading the resin. Wash the skin thoroughly to remove the irritating oil, using soap and lots of water. BLACK TEA BAGS work well for itches. Just dunk a bag in a scant cup of hot water for several minutes, cool, then apply the tea bag to the rash. The tannic acid will contract inflamed tissue and relieve itching.
