Poison Ivy Protection

Just wanted to share some information on a product that I recently tried. It's called tecnu extreme. Got it at Walmart. During work days and scouting trips on my deer lease I have tried numerous things to keep from contracting poison ivy rash. This product has done the trick for me. I wear a thin polyester long sleeve shirt and gloves as usual, however I rub some of this stuff on my skin prior to going into the woods. When I get home I use more of the product while showering just like soap. Use it before you even use soap. It works awsome! There's more poison ivy on my lease than I have ever seen anywhere, and I have not had 1 itch since starting to use this stuff. The added bonus to the stuff is that if you do actually get a rash, it's just as good to use as calamine or any other off the shelf topicle. It works by washing off the toxins before they take affect. I know a lot of you are doing work days right now, so you might pick some up and avoid the hassle of poison ivy.

ivy wash

I used to use lye based soap that I would buy from an ole school hardware store, or on a trip to TN in the mountains. It worked good, but still not as good as this stuff.

True

I can vouch for technu products!!! This stuff is awesome although they seem to change the name and packaging periodically. Never can find the same stuff twice it seems.

But this stuff will absolutely stop it in its tracks. If you touch the plant and fear you will get it then was as soon as possible and you will not get the rash/bumps.

If you get an outbreak wash with this stuff and you will stop it in its tracks. I scrub with it over and over if I have it on my hands. Sometimes one washing isn't enough if the ivy juices were laid on you heavy and the outbreak is full blown.

This stuff is like miracle cream when it comes to poison ivy. GET SOME!!!!
