This is a great article, but I think the references to yourself need to be removed, if you want it to appear to be an encyclopedia article rather than an interesting and helpful first person narrative. Welcome to Wikipedia, whoever you are!

Also, I wonder if the article should be on a page called poison ivy (with poison oak having a pointer to poison ivy) or poison ivy and poison oak. The page isn't just about the rash --LMS


I am extremely allergic to urushiol (well, actually, it's not an allergy but a susceptibility), and have thoroughly proven that the additional preventions that I've mentioned -- jewelweed, laundry detergent, and clay mud -- work well. --John Knouse
