My 8 year old reacts terribly to it, and yet I have a hard time identifying it. One thing I want to throw out there is that she has had luck with a homeopathic remedy called rhus tox. It is actually a highly diluted form of the urushiol, in a little pellet. We get it at the local health store that sells homeopathic remedies. My daughter can dissolve it under her tongue or dissolve it in water. I think the idea is like allergy shot where you are letting the body get used to the offender in very small amounts so that it doesn't react as violently. Hope this helps...

(central Indiana) I think it's an Antheraea Polyphemus? Ours is apparently resting during its 4th instar -- we thought it was dying -- but after two days now, it seems to be stirring much more!
