Technu is the latest and greatest thing for poison ivy - there is 
"soap" for exposure and several creams.  Great stuff, I keep it with 
the camping gear.
I know Walt Nickes sells it and I'll bet that it is in some drug 
stores.  I need to replace mine, so I'll be looking!

Interesting side note to all the cold weather and frosts - the red 
lily beetles are quiet - do not see a one even as the day warms up! 
However, the ticks are everywhere.  My daughter had one in her hair. 
It hadn't buried its head yet, but scary.  I have seen a lot of ticks 
this year already.
