It might remove the resin, but it sure as heck won't "kill" or inactivate
it.

Strong alkali soaps will wash it off. Bar laundry soaps are the traditional
treatment, but how quickly you have to use them depends on the individual.
With some it won't work more than an hour after exposure. With others, 12
hours or even more is good enough.

I don't know if those alkali laundry soaps, like Lux, are even alkaline
anymore, but they used to be.
