Or do what the tree service/foresters do and go by your drug store and buy a bottle of Tecnu outdoor skin cleanser, which removes the oils from both poison ivy and poison oak.
NOW you tell him!
Look forward to hearing if the soap works Nighthawk.
I hear that PETA are trying to re-name poison Ivy as “Kitten Ivy” so you mean guys will like it better!
All the best.

I’ve used the sap from jewelweed on poison ivy and stinging nettle. Works better than doing nothing but that’s the way most of the remedies are for me. I am super sensitive to poison ivy, and if I think I’ve been exposed I wash and scrub four times with soap. That works the best if I do it within a couple of hours of exposure. When I was a kid I did the oatmeal bath, and I also had to drink a tincture of poison ivy in the morning to reduce my sensitivity. Don’t know if the tincture helped but it did curdle the milk! Also, the tropical fruit mango has the same irritant as poison ivy on the skin, so I can eat the mango but have to peel it and not come in contact with the peels. Anyway, “I feel your pain”. Good luck and get better soon.
The soap definitely helps. It has jewelweed, pine tar, tea oil and goat milk. Helped Amy’s’ dermatitis too. i bought mine from a Lewistown, Pa company called Homemade Products on ebay. A little pricey on the shipping but it was worth it when I was suffering. They did ship fast though so definitely worth the money.
