Hi Connie,
I suspect it would - I was unable to find a website just for Technu,
the PI sites did mention poison oak too! I think that the base toxin
is very similar between PO, PI and poison sumac! I don't get PI
easily - and there isn't much around my yard, but it is the first
thing I teach the kids to watch for.
A warning for one OTC remedy for PI - Rhuli gel may cause an allergic
reaction like PI! Trust me on this! Worse than a bad burn and took
ages to heal and the scar is only now fading!
Well, I should be able to get my stitches out today or tomorrow.
(sliced my thumb washing up after lunch and got two stitches; got to
drive myself to the ER and everything!) So I can finally get back in
the garden! Hurrah!
Cheryl
