Itching and burning! FOR SCIENCE!

Weeeell, after watching Mythbusters for ideas on a science project I've got due in a short time, I saw their experiment on home remedies for skunk spray and decided to try something more locally useful: An experiment on home remedies for poison oak/poison ivy. A lot of different people have told me various things that should help such as pouring vodka on the affected area area, using rubbing alcohol, simply dipping the affected area in water, or using dish soap to clean the affected area. Do any of you know any other home remedies to this (or even similar common ailments) that I could test? I'm going to give my self one hell of a rash! FOR SCIENCE!
