Good advice, I assume. From what I understand, most soaps do not really do much to remove the chemical that irritates the skin and causes the rash, but I shouldn’t be surprised that Dawn would help.
In my case, the first time, I never saw it. The second time, I saw it and thought I was being careful (gloves) but still managed to get it on my arms. So my issue seems to be knowing WHEN I need to treat as though I’ve touched it.
Yeah, if I thought I even was near it, I know my timer is ticking, basically 40 minutes to get the oils off and clean up and I can minimize the impact to maybe a blister or 2 from some missed oil, it spreads really easily. And if you wipe it off while washing can be still spread.
Dawn is basically the king of oil removers, though you can also use alcohol wipes actually but you need to dispose of them faster than just showering with dish soap. Way cheaper than the branded stuff and usually on hand just missing moisturizing oils.
I would rather be needlessly clean and needing to moisturize than have poison ivy. But sometimes it just happens anyways.
