If it still won't go away, then prednisone, as someone else mentioned will do the trick.

You have to think of the oil on the plant as tar or grease. It doesn't just wipe off. It doesn't just wash off with a little soap. You have to put some effort in.

All so if you used gloves during contact,THROW them away
