During warmer months, I pretreat my hands / wrists / forearms (depending on
sleeve length) with a product called Ivy Dry. Since I started using it,
I've yet to get PI.

Of course, I make a lovely natural PI Salve for those afflicted! And will
have some at the Christmas party along with honey lye soap which really is
good for PI. The cortisone sounds like a good idea also.

It has alcohol in it which we believe breaks down the oil. May be our
wishful thinking.

I'm very allergic but use Tecnu Extreme Poison Ivy Scrub at the end of the
day if I think I may have been exposed to PI. Works like a charm for me.

I've wondered if using hand sanitizer would help or hurt with poison ivy...
I always have some on had so that I can get the moldy wet cache log smell
off my hands, but I've never used it for PI yet, seems like you would just
rub the oil into your pores faster with that stuff. Anyone else use it?

Jo and I use hand sanitizer after every venture into woodsy areas. Then
cortisone10 at any hint of an itch. Jo calls it a miracle drug. Even with
that we still manage to get it once in awhile but not as severely. Can't
wait to feel well enough to cache again. Maybe by New Years.

The vines carry the oil as I found out with my Christmas tree, the leaves
don't have to be present.
If you suspect you have been in poison ivy. Wash the affected with cool
water and lots and lots of soap. Don't use warm water because that opens
your pores and allows the oils to enter your skin faster. If you can wash
off the oil within 8 hours (I try for immediately), you will reduce the
risk of a breaking out. When I go caching in the woods, I always carry wet
wipes along, at least in the car. That way if I suspect I walked through
PI, I use one of those to wipe down immediately until I get to water.

Since the "I love geocaching" thread turned into a PI in winter
discussion...
I know this is common knowledge for most folks on the list, but for those
who don't know:
The vines with the "hairy" roots are poison ivy and will give you a rash at
any time of the year if you're sensitive to PI.
I don't even touch them with gloves on for fear I'll touch the gloves to my
skin later.
