I used to be afraid of Poison Ivy, until I learned how it works. Getting a reaction is one of the most uncomfortable experiences ever but hopefully this video can help you from ever getting a reaction!

Disclaimer: the first clip wasn’t all poison ivy but I think the healthiest thing is to adopt the mindset that anytime I go in the woods I’m exposed to poison ivy. So once I get home I immediately scrub every part of my body because most of the time you don’t realize you even touched poison ivy in the first place.

  1. Dude you know that Non polar fluids such as oils dissolve other non polar fluids. You can use olive oil and you will not have that reaction

  2. This is the whitest thing I ever seen. I mean I know yall don’t use washcloths but to think your solution was a washcloth, something you should have already being using regularly, is crazy. So when you came from these intense hikes in the woods you was just washing your body with your hands? No towel, loofa, or net sponge to scrub the dirt off? Do y’all even shower immediately when yall come home form these intense hikes?.

  3. Axle grease is most easily removed from skin by rubbing vegetable oil on it. Maybe vegetable oil can also work in removing poison ivy oil?

  4. I remember the first time I was told the similarities of poison ivy oil and heavy weight grease on your skin. It was a game changer. I got it so much as a kid my dad used to tell not to give the plant any dirty looks or might get it again. 😊

  5. But then if you do get a rash then friction is one of the worst things you could do 😂

  6. Dawn dish soap is recommended by me because it works well to degrease my hands when I was a mechanic.

  7. I’ve been using a different technique for years. I’ve never once had a reaction from it. It’s called “don’t ever go near poison ivy”. It hasn’t failed me to this day.

  8. So basically, I just learned that a lot of people don’t use wash cloth when they take a shower. That is too funny 😂

  9. This should be an in general psa to the individuals that dont shower with a wash rag!! Yall are still dirty

  10. Why are all of yall so against a wash rag? Soap with grit, or a sugar scrub is never going to compare to a simple wash rag. Yes wear long pants but if u did get the ivy on u take a proper shower!
