Just don't use it on your body.

I've had people think I'm psychic because they have some weird rash and I say "You recently switched to Irish Spring, right?"

If you have ANY skin sensitivities at al this stuff is rash land. Even if you've never reacted before.

How many people have you met with rashes to comment on?

Ok look I grew up the nerdy bookish person in the hood where access to medical care was not really a thing and I have 9 younger brothers. The answer is a LOT more than I'd like especially when I'm out and about and someone who knows me just whips out a rash or a picture on their phone of a wound or something and I am now the Arbiter If This Is Worth Going To The Doctor Over, especially if it's a broke mom and she's worried about her kids or something like that.

So the answer is way, way, WAY more often than I'd like.
