Only way I know of to prevent it is to wear gloves , long sleeve shirts, pants and shoes(cover up) or avoid contact with it. Once skin comes in contact with it, you've got it!

Try antihistamine tablets daily like claratin (loratadine) or allegra (fexofenadine). Neither will hurt you if you take them all the time. The other is identify and avoid. When you do get it, run hot water as hot as you can stand for a fewe minutes, It will itch like mad for a few minutes, then won't itch again for 8 hours. That is how long it takes for your body to replace the histamine that makes you itch

negative. all you can do is avoid it.
wear long sleeves and pant legs.
take off what you are wearing as soon as you get home and wash in hot water.
wash your skin but you shouldn't use soap. It will spread the oil.
