I wont venture out without my soap. I'm a wildcrafter and stay in the woods as much as possible. It is to be used after exposure as the jewelweed neutralizes the poison. If you already have, or still get a rash, it will help to dry it up. Google jewelweed and read all about it. Keep a bar in a jar near outside faucet to wash up with after gardening, carry it in your pocket, pack it in a fishing tackle box.
Jewelweed was used as a remedy for poison ivy, oak, stinging nettle, etc, long before time as we knew it. It is also good to soothe insect stings and bites. I love spring, and always have a bar in my pocket. It comes in handy when gathering yellow jacket nests to make soup with, lol.
am interested to know what part of florida your in? Lots of poison ivy, oak, stinging nettle, etc. down there. Lived there twenty years in my younger days. Deer flies liked to have eat me alive.....but I loved it down there. Miss the critters.........you must live in town, that would make sense. I stayed in the swamps.
