TecNu does work; it's an exfoliant so it removes the dead skin cells on the surface along with whatever is attached to them. You can also pick up a larger tube or jar of exfoliant from some women's beauty supply shops. If you don't have anything like that handy after potentially being exposed, a vigorous scrub with soap will help.There is also a wash called TecNu. You rub it on affected areas before washing with soap and water. It works great. I get poison pretty easily and will break out really bad if not careful. Since I have used this stuff, my spots are minimal.
Sounds like it really sucks to be allergic to poison ivy.![]()

Enjoy it while you can, and don't show off too much by handling it. You can become sensitized to it with repeated exposure or a large enough exposure.
Oh, and for what it's worth, people with suppressed immune systems also have less of a response to it...
