For the abrasive, maybe toothpaste will work as it has sand in it. Or, add a little lava hand soap? I was thinking about ajax - but that seems too abrasive. Pumice would obviously work. As would the polyethylene granules. An abrasive is important because we're assuming the urushiol sap has been on the skin for a day or two, so we need to get deep down to the Langerhans's dendritic cell layer where the now-activated quinone is bound to the receptor. We then need to pull that quinone OFF the receptor, and replace it with the glycol ether, along with blocking all the other receptors with glycol ether. Then we need to wash it all away, so that it doesn't infect further. |
