Kevin Kelly’s Cool Tools weblog suggested using Zanfel Poison Ivy Cream as an immediate and effective cure for Poison Ivy and other similar ills. I’m skeptical but most folks seem to agree that it really works. Given the dog and the presence of poison ivy in the northeast I’m going to take the precaution of ordering myself a tube. Worth a look if you’ve struggled with poison ivy in the past, even at the pretty steep $40/ounce price point.
