Tincture of Green, a soap that can be had at a pharmacy, (mine said he was surprised I asked for it, not many people are aware of it) will remove Urushiol (what causes the dermatitis- rash/itch etc.) within a certain time of exposure, before it binds.
I've read that the potency of Urushiol,the amount on a pin head is enough to make the world itch, well I can't vouch for that, but the last time I got it, was in '04 and it was an education of same, most potent I've ever had, it left scars, not permanent but for quite awhile. I made sure to be able to identify the plant. You can work around it, but if the area has been disturbed, plant stem/leaves broke, you had best protect yourself and have some of that soap on hand.
I told one of the hired help where it was on the farm, one side of a pasture, along a stone wall, idiot went in there anyway, told him the soap was in the washroom, nope .... he knew what he was doing, nope.... covered with it, rash everywhere, said was not poison ivy, but poison oak, "some people you just can't reach" ..... I told him and showed him, my father was a naysayer too, till he saw that rash.
