How to prevent Poison Oak skin contamination? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 86/100. nesher (143)   ranked 25 out of 46 in hiking10 months ago

California is a heaven for hikers. However, the severe punishment awaits the unprepared by Poison Oak skin contamination. I am trying to be very careful, and use the exchange clothes, but still I got it 4 times. Knowing the rush features, I can stop it pretty fast. The point is, can we prevent that? I mean, Poison Oak blocks or prevention pills. Any experience, good or bad?

I think wearing long sleeves and pants is one of the only ways to prevent it! But a quick search tells me that there are ways to reduce your chances of getting it! http://walking.about.com/...

Have you tried mountain climbing or hiking?

We are planning to go hiking next summer. I have tried it twice and it's cool. Communing with nature while exercising your body is a wonderful experience. When you reach the summit, it's heaven!

I've been camping since I was a little girl and I love it. I know that everyone thinks 'real' camping is a different thing: some people only go to drink and party, some people go to get back to...
