Greetings all,

I managed to get Poison Ivy back in May while doing some yard work. I have since healed but have gotten recurrent outbreaks after wearing a neoprene knee brace that I had been wearing when I was first exposed. I have tried washing it with detergent several times but to no avail. The oils came out of my clothing after one washing, but they won't come out of the neoprene. I do not know what all is safe to do to neoprene so I have not tried much.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Andron
