If I have potentially been exposed to poison ivy, how should I go about removing the oils from my skin and would that help prevent a reaction?

This is a little tricky, but I have a few ideas about it.  I want to make sure you’re not at risk for a reaction, and make sure that your clothes aren’t contaminated.

I don't fully understand your response, but as far as washing with warm water, shouldn't I first wash with cold water?
user
Yes, sorry, the rule with washing poison ivy off of you is to first wash with cold water.  Then as soon as possible after that, rinse with warm water.
assistant
Okay. This is what I thought.
