Here's a great tip for those who find themselves stuck with Poison Ivy rash:

Dawn Dish Detergent!

See, the Urushiol is an poisonous oily resin that continues to cause damage long after you've interrupted contact with the plant. You've got to get that resin OFF.

Smear all affected areas (except eyes and mucous membraines) with Dawn dish liquid, rub it around thoroughly, and rinse it off slowly, working the lather.

If you've been sufficiently thorough, the itch should begin to subside pretty immediately, rash should begin to fade in a few hours. If need be, repeat.



And yes, I am speaking from experience.

Membraines, membranes, membrains . . . whatever.

Thanks for that poison ivy remedy. Seriously.
