The Tech-Nu Poison Ivy stuff really works! We use it during cranberry
picking season here in Massachusetts. Poison Ivy is a weed pest on
cranberry bogs, and during dry-picking, you occasionally go through patches
of the poison ivy. In the process of hand sorting/dumping/handling the
berries, you need to remove the chaff (leaves/weeds/vines, etc). If your
allergic to Poison Ivy, use that stuff immediately after exposure. Follow
the directions to a tee.
