Hot water is as effective as UT says for subduing the itch, but only after the area has been cleaned of the oil like every one else has mentioned. The best way to clean off the oil is is with dawn dish soap - but really only right after exposure of course. Afterward the $40 cream Classic mentioned works to shorten the lifespan of the attack.
Several years back I was practically covered from head to toe - it took a month to go away. I was on the internet EVERY DAMN DAY looking for relief suggestions.
