When a person has been in contact with poison ivy, there are several measures that may be taken to prevent or lessen a rash. Zanfel and Tecnu are commercial preparations designed to 'unlock' urishiol from the skin. If applied within 20 minutes of exposure to poison ivy, these may be effective in completely preventing an outbreak. Zanfel, the more expensive of the two by far, is said to be effective at any stage of a poison ivy outbreak.

Preventing exposure to poison ivy involves ways of preventing the oil from getting on the skin. - Wear long clothing, avoid any plants that look like poison ivy. - If you must wear short clothing, put thick lotion on areas that may be exposed to poison ivy, like the legs. A suntan oil may work even better. - If you handle tools that have touched it, wear gloves, then wipe the tools with alcohol immediately after using them, or throw them away.

You can also physically pull up all the vines and roots but you must wear gloves and pants and a long sleeve shirt. DO NOT BURN poison ivy. The smoke particles carry the irritant and allow it to be inhaled; people that are extremely sensitive to poison ivy could die. Wrap the plants in a good garbage bag and bury them or dispose of them in a landfill.
