Oh, bother.

Woke up this morning with my right arm itching.  Oh bother, I did get poison oak from the work weekend.

Yes, yes! Tecnu rocks! Use it if you have any suspicion that you might have run into the stuff. Stinky but worth it.

(Mostly where I live it's poison ivy. But the same chemical in both plants - urushiol - is responsible.)

Tecnu also has stuff you put on before you go out in the woods to block you from getting it on you in the first place.
