We've tried all the OTC poison ivy products and they do ok if you use them early on. Someone told me this remedy a few years ago. My grown son got poison ivy and I told him to jump in the shower with a (clean) green scrub sponge and some Dawn and give the rash a good scrub. He did and it was gone within a day. I recently got poison ivy and did this and the rash stopped itching and was getting better but then it came back - it's systemic with me so I need to focus on whole body picture, not just the rash. Started taking activated charcoal a few days ago and now checking out what has worked for others.
