Poison Ivy. Wash everything multiple times.
TecNu does work; it's an exfoliant so it removes the dead skin cells on the surface along with whatever is attached to them. You can also pick up a larger tube or jar of exfoliant from some women's beauty supply shops. If you don't have anything like that handy after potentially being exposed, a vigorous scrub with soap will help.There is also a wash called TecNu. You rub it on affected areas before washing with soap and water. It works great. I get poison pretty easily and will break out really bad if not careful. Since I have used this stuff, my spots are minimal.
Sounds like it really sucks to be allergic to poison ivy.

Enjoy it while you can, and don't show off too much by handling it. You can become sensitized to it with repeated exposure or a large enough exposure.
Oh, and for what it's worth, people with suppressed immune systems also have less of a response to it...
