Actually, a soak for a while in a mixture of chlorine bleach and water would eliminate the effects of the poison ivy and be a lot less painful than scrubbing for hours. NOT for use around the eyes. For quickest results, apply straight bleach to a small area and then wash thoroughly to get rid of the smell. Do NOT apply to sensitive skin under any circumstances.
you can wash poison ivy off before you have a chance to manifest the symptoms? I’ve heard poison ivy can be NASTY, causing blotchy red rashes and even sores and pustules that can last DAYS at least.
What’s that weird thing on Phoebe’s face? And yes, poison ivy (and oak) is awful. I had a friend who… honest… got some on his genitals while defecating in what he thought was some kind of weird plant. All we other guys were very sympathetic, of course, being 18 years old.
I miss these storyline arcs, so much good storytelling and creative talent. I don’t miss poison ivy, but I’ve been blessed by not having any reaction to it.

Yeah that actually wasn’t cool. Sending someone to a patch of poison ivy is pretty dangerous.
