I'm lucky to not be sensitive to posion ivy but I've always recommended
rubbing alcohol to remove. Even handed the guys commscope alcohol wipes
that come with splice cases in a pinch. Seems to do the trick.

I always thought mineral spirits tasted like refined kerosene, im assuming
the taste test isnt a part of the chemistry testing though. Anything that
dissolves oil should be good though.
Rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer probably works as long as its rinsed
off, but the higher content dries quicker, so less distilled keeps
everything soluable  for removal.
I found out a few years ago bragging i used to be immune from poison ivy
cutting  a tree covered in it and holding my crank while evacuating the
bladder that i am, in fact, no longer immune.
When the red is on it, ive been told its almost a powder, like pollen, so i
dont know.

rope and stick winch to get it up before the corps saw it. the only tree
was in a muddle of poison ivy so we were twisting the rope in the leaves,
had to go in when we got the boat up enough to pull off the smaller motor,
the gas tanks were leaking and i was covered in gas. so im guessing

My Mom used to insist on using Fels Naptha
soap. She was very sensitive to poison ivy, but loved
  collecting mushrooms where I grew up. She would always wash up
  with the stuff after a mushroom outing.

Re: [AFMUG] tecnu

2019-08-07 Thread Bill Prince 
What we do instead of Tecnu is just carry a bottle of rubbing alcohol 
and a roll of paper towels. Alcohol will cut the usushiol without 
opening the pores on your skin. Pour a liberal amount of alcohol on a 
paper towel and wipe it over your arms (or face or legs or hands), and 
dispose of the paper towel in a plastic or paper bag. Use each towel 
once so you're not just spreading the oil around. This is pretty 
effective, and costs a lot less than Tecnu and it's available almost 
anywhere.


As a point of note; if you shower after exposure to poison oak or poison 
ivy, don't take a hot shower. Take a cold shower because you don't want 
to open the pores on your skin.

The best skunk on dog remedy is a blend of hydrogen peroxide (the strongest you 
can get at the drugsore) and baking soda. Mixed on the dog. Chemically 
denatures the stink. 
I think for poison ivy/oak, a mental treatment may be more effective. Weed is 
legal in Illinois now, right?
