I sent the link that was on internetworkers last weeek about eating 
poison ivy <http://wwmag.net/Pages/pivy.htm> to my brother, the doctor 
(pediatric intensive care).  His response,in case some of you were 
tempted to try:

This bone headed idea has been around for some time. The medical 
complications of it are well known (at least to some of us in medicine). 
Remember that the eaten leaf has to come out somewhere. Guess what 
happens to the poor person who injested the poison ivy!

There is probably not enough Preparation H at your local drugstore to 
care for the problem, even if your pharmacist were to give you 40 refills.
