or from anything else that has come into contact with those things, like a 
dog's fur, or off your clothes as you are putting them into the washer.  A lot 
depends on how sensitive a person is to it, and having been away from it, you 
may not have developed a sensitivity.  Once you get it, there is no better 
treatment (non-steroidal anyway) than the jewelweed.
