I was just telling my husband about these plants yesterday! Our forest area on our property is suddenly over loaded with poison ivy. I haven't found any jewelweed near us yet, but I have found another great way to help subdue poison ivy reactions- wash your skin within two hours of exposure with warm water and soap and (this is the important part) use a microfiber cloth if you have one or a wash cloth if available. The cloth helps remove the oil that gets left behind when you wash with just your hands. It's helped us a ton so far!
