![So here is my idea: A community college health class, and a really hard test, that allows citizens to write themselves prescriptions from a list of non addictive remedies to simple shit so we don't have to run suck a doctors dick to fix our poison ivy.To police it we could only write three a year.

I accidentally burned poison ivy once. I was using my arms to push my chest to help me breathe. Fever got to 102. Thank goodness I had a corticosteroid inhaler from a friend. Looking back I had no idea how close to death I was. Not good stuff. Now I would have taken so much vitamin C, I wouldn't be able to leave the toilet. Same thing I'd do for any type of poisoning or severe immune reaction.
Vitamin c helps with Ivy reactions? I've read that you need to suppress your immune system to clear it up and that it hitches a ride on T cells and spreads throughout your body like that.
Vitamin c is an anti histamine. Posion ivy causes an allergic reaction. Allergic reactions are histamine rushes. Stop the histamine rush, stop the reaction.

2 g can reduce histamines in the blood by 40%
Last time I was sick I took 40 grams over a 24 hour period and should have taken more. So that's close to where I'd be for severe reactions.
