I wonder if alcohol like 151 would remove the ivy oil... unlike water alcohol will mix with oil.

But perhaps that would make it worse.

Ursus marijanus
In the early stages, a blend of strong dish soap (I like Ultra Dawn) emulsified with some paint thinner/kerosene will help much. The toxin molecule is greasy, too greasy to partition well into alcohol. Once the rash has set in, the problem is an in-skin reservoir of unmetabolized toxin, and at that point a strong oxidizing agent (bleach) is the best recourse to kill the reservoir of the bad stuff.

"Oxi Clean" type percarbonate products are less effective ime.

Makes sense scientifically however I don't believe pouring bleach on exposed/raw/bleeding skin is ever a good idea...
