No. To make a homeopathic remedy, you dilute something that causes the 
symptoms. So to make a cure for poison ivy, you dilute something that 
irritates your skin. The idea being (I think) that your body naturally 
fights off the very dilute stuff and in so doing cures the poison ivy, too.

So dilute penicillin causes infections.
