I learned about Tecnu about a month later on our trip to Mendocino, when some local hikers pointed out the poison oak we'd just hiked by/through in Montgomery Woods (see 6/18 post.)

But I've since heard a number of other hikers- and now you- swear by it, so I'm convinced enough to try it again the next time.Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248341788957416471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199848742267562587.post-1674037921948469192008-11-26T12:04:00.000-07:002008-11-26T12:04:00.000-07:00There is a product called Tecnu that supposedly bi...There is a product called Tecnu that supposedly binds the catecols even after they have been on your skin for a while. I don't know how it works, but I am pretty sure that it does. I have used it on many occasions after known contact with poisen oak and have escaped the suffering.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086975671026754449noreply@blogger.com
