Re: Tecnu was:Poison Ivy Cure Re: Ruta graveolens (spelling?)

Cheryl, I second and third you.  Tecnu is the greatest stuff
since...well, soap. I only have to look at poison ivy and I've got
it; spent years in intermittent misery until I discovered this
wonderful stuff.  Now, I just grab the bottle and wash up with it
after coming in from the garden...haven't had a case of PI since I
found it.  Have not used the post exposure creams, just the 'soap'. 
Trick is you have to follow instructions and massage it in for the
full 2 minutes.

Gemplers (marvelous supplier of myriad stuff) carries it:

Deerbusters site carries it and think CVS may also have it.

Here's the Tecnu web site:

They also have a page of suppliers
