Yes. Many times. It's in the Euell Gibbons book, Stalking the Wild
Asparagus. I believe you are supposed to rub the flowers and leaves on your
skin.

Hi all,
I was told years ago (by someone who I imagine would know) that a useful
remedy plant for poison ivy is jewelweed, which -- I was also told -- may
often be found growing conveniently close by poison ivy stands. Not sure
whether you squeeze the leaf juice onto affected parts or ?? Has anybody
else heard this?
