Thanks all, but I am past prevention at this point.
I am good at identifying it, but I was at the end of a long morning pulling about 5000 maple trees from my flowerbeds and I wasn't paying attention when I snagged it.
Basic soap and water wasn't the answer, unfortunately.

Well, one way to at least get some relief from the itching is hot water. Put the affected part under a stream of warm water and slowly reduce the amount of cold water until is as hot as you can tolerate. You will get either a very pleasant experience or the itching will get very intense briefly, afterwards you should get about 8 hours of being itch free.
Make sure to start with warm water so you don't burn your skin. But this method will work for temporary itch reilef. Do it every 8 hours or so and it will get you through.

Xanfel scrub is for active rash. It will hurt like hell scrubbing it, but will feel exponentially better afterwards. Tecnu is what I use before/after potential exposure.
