Default Killing and removing Poison Ivy.

Another tip is that if you come in contact with poison ivy when you are
done put rubbing alcohol on the exposed skin. That will take all of the
oil off the skin. You must shower within 12 hours to be completly safe.
Oh and do not put rubbing alcohol on before you work with poison ivy.
It will be ten time worse if you get the oil on your skin.

Good tip but I would shorten the shower time to within 3 hours of
working around poison ivy.
