First of all, I have to say, poison ivy, oak, sumac, that was some fine print I forgot to read before moving to USA The only plant causing skin irritation we have over there is Nettle and compared to poison ivy that's a joke. Actually Nettle - which I never saw in America - can be used for turkey stuffing, hair conditioner, tea...
Hogweed is gaining some ground, but that's easy to spot.
Now suppose I cut grass and I go over an area with poison ivy and twenty minutes later, the blade is stuck due to a stick or something like that and I know I have to get under and pull it out. Typically, right after contact with the poison, I go and wash very very well with soap, dish detergent or Goop but still I seldom escape rash.
What do you do, when you are 100% positive, you exposed your skin to urushiol in any form?
