Does this really help to desensitize oneself? Or is this just a case of California dreaming?
"The taste of young poison oak is surprisingly mild, grassy and only a little bit tart. That is what writer Jeff Horwitz found when he started eating it. Where he lives, in Northern California, poison oak is a native plant that is impossible to avoid if you enjoy hiking, camping and foraging. The most conventional treatment for exposure is to promptly lather up with dish soap or Tecnu, a specialized cleanser. There was, however, a different approach to desensitizing people who are allergic to poison ivy and oak. And it had a track record of success dating back hundreds of years."
