In this subversively funny and yet deeply informative talk, learn why soap is terrible for removing the allergen urushiol from the skin. Discover poison ivy barrier creams that actually work. You’ll hear how humans are the only animal allergic to poison ivy, why your immunity to poison ivy can change at any time, and that you respond to its allergen depends on a number of factors. It’s an entertaining talk that will leave you itching for more.
