Originally I was turned on to it by a National Parks Ranger who said he and his colleagues bought it in bulk, used it preventively after every patrol, whether or not they were aware of being exposed. You put it on the skin prior to a shower. It works by neutralizing the toxic oils of the ivy. Rory -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
