We have it in WV.
a friend of mine made some jewel weed soap - it soothes it but it isn't gone - not by any stretch. Just when I think it has quit oozing it oozes. Why does it all itch at once? If it stings, it all stings at the same time. Head to ankle. Go figure.
I've never had to try it, but I've heard good things about Tecnu. You can get it at most major drugstores. Feel better!
