My wife believes in the Chlorox Cure for poison ivy and bug bites, but I'm not too keen on voluntary bleach exposure. I am highly allergic to poison ivy and we have it all over the back yard. Every time I come in contact, or even think I come into contact with it, I run to the kitchen and put dishwashing liquid on the contact area, rub it in, then wash it off. I have never developed a rash after doing this.
