	"Rulicream" is a brand name.   My favorite is "Rulispray."   It 
has a bit of ether in it and it is COLD.  When you spray it on there
is instant relief.   It has calomine in it.

	I used to get poision oak often, but my family doctor was a
hypnotherapist.   I can't claim that I have never gotten it since,
but the few time I have gotten it was much less sever than it 
was before.   I do not test my luck though, I avoid it when possible
and wash up if I am.   I used to use brown soap, but it is not 
really necessary.  Any strong soap will do.  The point is to
wash off all of the oil.   Soaps with oils in them to keep
skin soft just spread it around.
