Tecnu soap is GREAT at getting the oil out--most of the poison oak has subsided already. And yes, for the hot water shower (I don't want to spread the oil, so no bath.)
As for the other--I was uprooting dead trees, and had pushed over 3, which was much easier than using the very dull chainsaw or the very dull axe, and the fourth one, which was slightly bigger and had died this spring, not last fall, was being tenacious. I dug in and rocked it, then pushed hard, and my hands slipped. Cuts/scrapes on the inside of both elbows, and a long scratch down the right side of my face. Neosporin plus painkiller, yay!
Tecnu!
