FYI bleach will neutralize the urushiol - what causes the itch and allergic reaction in the Anacardiaceae family of plants that Poison Ivy belongs to. Thankfully I'm not very sensitive to it but always make it a point to wipe off gardening tools used on Poison Ivy with straight bleach and for skin you want to use a 1 part bleach (regular not concentrate) to 5 parts water dilution.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
