It's that time of year, and here in California there is tons of poison oak out on the trails!
I recently ran the American River 50 mile Endurance Run, and I got poison oak on that run.
Now, I've had many episodes with poison oak. I also see lots of runners who get it on these long events, I see lots of runners that get it on their normal trail runs on Saturday or Sunday.
In the first place, you don't have to get poison oak. But you can also do something about it if you do get poison oak.
Today on the Doc On the Run Podcast, we're talking about the top 3 weapons against poison oak for trail runners.
