Poison oak/Sumac/Ivy never bothered me ... Stinging Nettles get me every time though ... detergent

------------------------
Which reminds me of a trick mom taught me about oil paint/Grease (In the days before orange "Gunk" was made)

When cleaning an oil off skin ....Never apply water first, as in when you apply ""soap/detergent and water"
With oil paints or grease, thin it with Vaseline or baby oil (mineral oil) then apply detergent.
If you have an oil paint on skin that started drying, applying water on top, then detergent is harder.
Using gasoline/thinners dries the skin, but using baby oil thins it, use a rag, reapply oil, then detergent, then water

or something like that


Alternatively, train a pet skunk to brush against the poison plants, like cats rub their faces on stuff to mark territory ... then avoid anything smelling like skunk
