Answers:
No, it won't stop you from getting it and you probably just spread it all over your body!.

The best way to prevent it from getting all over is to wash the affected area with cold water and bleach!. Use about 1/8 cup in a gallon of water and then rinse thoroughly!. Just don't use on sensitive areas like your face or genitals and don't get it inside you!.

The bleach liquifies the fat in your skin which is why it feels greasy!. The fat coming out will draw the poison out with it!. You want cold water to keep your pores closed!.

Hot water opens your pores and allows the oils to get in!. It's the oils in the poison plants that cause the reaction!.

I'm one of the lucky few that isn't allergic to poison oak!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most likely you will still get the rash!. Unless you have a shower right there with you, the poison stays on your skin for some time!. The faster you see a doctor, the better you'll feel!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You must wash the affected areas SIX times with soap and water to prevent infection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
