Get into the shower with a bar of soap. Begin at the top of your head and wash evrything thouroughly. Even your feet, because the water is rinsing the poison resin off your upper body and it runs downhill.
Identify every piece of clothing you were wearing when exposed and wash them, including shoes. Wash your hands after handling these clothes. Wash any tool you had at the time (golf club, shovel, dog leash, whatever).
There are no topical applications to cure poison ivy, but some give itch relief. Once you have washed completely, you cannot spread it on yourself or to others.
Wash. Wash thoroughly and immediately.
If you get a really bad case, get your doc to prescribe oral steroids. Total relief. And adds 3-5 mph to your fastball.
