Today I did a lot of underbrush removal from an overgrown area. After I
finished I was told there was poison ivy in the area.

I have no symptoms so far -- three or four hours. How long will I have to
wait to find out if I got it?

I took a good shower, if that helps.


A cold shower will not open your pores, so the irritants won't go in and
further aggrivate you. Fels Naptha soap was what we used 50 years ago
and I assume it still works to dissolve the oil from the plants.
