Dr told me years ago to use Ivory hand soap, the bar, as soon as I could after hunting. I shower with it as soon as I get in. Used to get it bad but haven't had but two light cases since I started this.

As soon as you get in use jewel Weed Soap. Or go out and pick a bunch of it, put in a blender and make ice cubes from the juice to rub on poison ivy if it breaks out on you. The old timers called it water weed.

I get it real bad, the last time I checked the preventative shot had been taken off market, have not checked lately. I ware long sleeve shirt and gloves and overalls then as soon as I get home I take a shower and use TECNU SOAP for poison ivy, sense I started using this I do not get it as bad or as often as before, they sell it at Walmart, walgreens, and online I do not do anything outdoors in summer without washing with TECNU afterwords.
