    +1 However, if you can't avoid it, you should use a product like tecnu skin cleanser after you've been exposed.

    Unfortunatly I've had had it several times. What has worked for me has been. When i've finished working in the stuff wash ALL exposed skin wiith water. It washes off the oils from the plant.This doesn't help you now,but next time;). If you are infected don't scratch the blisters. thats how it spreads.the fliuid from them when broken will spread it. Try covering them with bandages.good luck it sucks:(
