Never thought about rain, though. Randy - that's interesting, never heard of the Ivy Cleanse wipes. Sounds like a good thing to have. Kevin – I’ve heard some horror stories about getting from smoke.

I can’t speak to all of them because I’ve never used them. Of course, the best prevention is to learn how to spot it. I’ve done a lot of trail maintenance, and hiking, and you get pretty good at spotting it, but anyone can get caught by surprise on a backcountry trail. I always carry some Ivy Cleanse wipes in my pack when I’m hiking. They are reasonably priced, and seem to be a good precaution in case you think you’ve had an accidental exposure. http://www.basegear.com/ivy-cleanse-poison-ivy-remover.html There are other products available too. Some simply confirm exposure. I’m not sure that has any real value since they are way more expensive than the Ivy Cleanse wipes. Another product I’m aware of is one that is used before going to work, or whatever, outside, and they act as a shield. Again expensive and I don’t use them for that reason. <abbr><em>Randy L’s last blog post..<a href="http://randyswaypoints.blogspot.com/2009/02/storm-door.html" rel="nofollow">The Storm Door</a></abbr></em> There are a few different products available that can help prevent poison oak rash.
