Then I discovered <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B000A7S3WK\/cooltools-20\">Technu<\/a> ($13), outdoor skin cleaner, that when used after exposure will limit or stop an outbreak. Poison Ivy has a heavy oil called <em>urushiol<\/em>, in the leaves, as does poison oak and sumac. If removed from the skin after exposure you will either limit or entirely avoid that terrible case of poison ivy. Used within 8 hours after exposure this liquid soap strips the urushiol oil from your skin. <\/p>\n<p>This stuff works! Not a beauty treatment, it does its job leaving your skin kind of dry as it pulls skin oils out as well as the poison ivy, but that is a small price to pay not to itch for a week. It was originally developed as a wash to remove radioactive fallout during the cold war. As a weekend only farmer the 12 oz. bottle lasts me several seasons. If I do get a breakout it is usually just a spot case instead of a rash all over my legs. A spray of Benadryl-like anti-itch medicine is then all I need to stay comfortable. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poison ivy wash<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34476"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34476"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34476\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34478,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34476\/revisions\/34478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
