Urushiol, the oily compound found in poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac, can be neutralized by using products specifically designed to remove it, such as those containing activated charcoal or specially formulated soaps. Washing the skin with soap and water as soon as possible after contact can also help prevent a reaction. Additionally, cleaning any clothing or tools that may have come into contact with urushiol using hot, soapy water is essential to avoid re-exposure.
