Poison Ivy Prevention

By Marc Silhavy

My doctor provided this tip for preventing poison ivy. We all know to wash after working outside, but I assumed using regular hand soap was fine. But instead, use dish soap to remove all of the poison ivy, as dish soap is made to remove grease and oils, which includes poison ivy oil. I now use regular and dish soap after yardwork, and I’ve been poison-ivy free for over a year.
