Aruba Vacation Turns Sour: Tourist Battles Systemic Poison Oak A recent vacation to Aruba took an unexpected turn for one tourist, who found herself battling a severe case of systemic poison oak. The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, documented her experience in a short video posted to social media. In the video, she describes the progression of the rash over five days, showing the effects of treatment with prednisone and antibiotics.
