   A friend was gardening, and pulling up poison ivy barehanded. I asked -- he   
   said   
   he'd just wash his hands with dishwashing detergent within half an hour, and   
   he'd be fine.   
      
   And if not, a drop of undiluted bleach applied to the poison ivy pustules would   
   clear it up within a day.
