Although I've never experienced any definite benefits from the occasional homeopathic remedy whose drops a friend has urged on me, I know several "hard-headed" (meat-eating, non-"granolas", rationalists) who swear by the homeopathic treatment for poison ivy/oak. It may just be placebo mind/body effects, but if anything so innocuous can reduce symptoms for something so slow-to-resolve and aggravating, I'm up for "getting foolish". As long as it's basically distilled water "with a healing vibration," is way cheaper than trip to doc, and cannot have side effects (see the zicam recall), what's not to like? --just my 2¢
