Is This Rash Poison Ivy?
If you come into contact with poison ivy, oak, or sumac, wash your skin with rubbing alcohol. Next, rinse with water. Afterwards, shower with soap. Washing your skin with a dishwashing liquid with a degreseaser agent is said to neutralize the urushiol oil.
Make sure to wash anything else that has come into contact with poison ivy as well, including clothing, tools, and your pet's fur.
