I don't know about Okra, but the worst casualty I had was working around with rose bushes and got a thorn jabbed into a finger joint. It swelled and hurt like the devil and got so bad I couldn't move that finger at all, and had to have it treated with a visit to the doctor eventually which sounds crazy, but true.
If I get some irritation on the skin nowdays from a bug bite or some plant making me very itchy (such as nettles), I rub some tea tree oil on it to sooth and it helps to heal also. But, I don't know if that will work in your case.
