One of my adults sons had a cold. I was giving him the following, twice a day:
2 capsules (total 800mg) L-lysine
2 tablets (700mg) aspirin
1 tablet (1000 mg) Vitamin C
After a few days he told me - "Whatever you were giving me for my cold really helped my poison ivy. I had some on my fingers and it was getting bad, but now it is almost dried up." (I didn't even know he had poison ivy! )
I recalled that L-lysine is sometimes used for cold sores. Something about it must be helpful when skin needs healing. Vitamin C is also helpful for skin issues. I don't know if the aspirin had any benefit at all to the poison ivy, but didn't want to neglect it, in case it did.
