There is that expensive wash that's supposed to neutralize the oil, I had a pharmacy at one time and we never had anyone come and buy it. We are in an area that is pretty much corn/soy fields and price of farmland is high so farmers are taking out the old farm house groves and such
You can also make a remedy from jewel weed I believe. It is supposed to be nature's antidote for poison ivy.
In fact I believe @mericanhomestead posted a video on it. I lost internet for a while and forgot to go back and watch it.
I have dairy goats and poison ivy. It is a problem and I used to use zanfel but after a few bouts on my face (and around my eyes) my wife found a great video where the guy compares a bunch of products and found that with soapy water and a washcloth, washcloth is the key (think motor oil). NO MORE ISSUES or fear for me
How about that. Good old fashioned soapy water and a good scrubbin'. Thanks for the tip!
I was very skeptical and have a cupboard full of tecnu, calamine, etc. was shocked when after the washcloth trick all i got was a few bumps here and there. I did kneel down in some while fencing that I didn't scrub and that was bad but thats where the zanfel comes in. Very expensive ($35 for 1 ounce) with some complicated directions but it removes the oil subdermally so rash and itch goes bye bye instantly so totally worth it to me.
