How to identify poison ivy: take a piece of white paper, fold it in half and capture a leaf in it, but don't get it on you! Crush the leaf in the paper. The plant juice on the paper will turn black within 4-5 minutes if the culprit is poison ivy.

Vinegar has been used over the ages to treat everything from rashes to stings, bruises, sunburn and heat exhaustion. Make a paste of apple cider vinegar and baking soda to calm and soothe the skin from bee stings, poison oak or poison ivy. Mix lavender and apple cider vinegar to treat sunburn. Mix a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar into water to replace electrolytes and combat heat exhaustion like sports drinks do. Straight vinegar will counteract the alkaline in a wasp bite. Press it against the skin in a cold compress to heal bruises.
