Well, hey, does Lava soap help with poison ivy? I thought it had to be Naptha soap, but I don't know if they even make that stuff anymore. I had to bathe in it at camp one summer, after I jokingly rolled in a poison ivy bed.

Lava soap? Tough love!

Fels Naptha is best for washing one's mouth out with soap. Just be glad you didn't speak this post, Jane.

Sounds to me like that's the reason to not do it more regularly.

I think tall (and brave) husband deserves some TLC. After all, HE was the one on the ladder amongst the poisonivy. (When I did this for my mom a few years ago there was a hornets' nest. Whee! Excitement!)
