Let's just say, I used this product and my husband didn't. We both pulled poison ivy all morning. I did not get any rash, he did in about four different places, the most annoying was his eyelid....use the product.

My husband and son are highly allergic to poision ivy and so I purchased this for them. We recently went on a hiking vacation in TN and poision ivy was everwhere! They both used the block and for the first time, got to enjoy the outdoors without getting the outbreak from the poision ivy. I would HIGHLY recommend this product. I am planning on buying them more for stocking stuffers for Christmas!

I HAD MY DOUBTS WHEN I PURCHASED THIS GREAT PRODUCT!
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT I FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING TO PREVENT THE POISON IVY RASH! BUT, IT REALLY WORKS WONDERS. I CAN WALK THROUGH OUR 42 ACRES IN SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA, WORK IN THE GARDEN & NEVER WORRY ANY LONGER ABOUT THE OUTBREAK LATER. I WILL BE PURCHASING THIS AGAIN NEXT YEAR!!!!

I have had good results from this product. I am sure it has prevented me from getting a poison ivy rash on more than one occasion.

This product has worked for me over the past several years. In fact, I bought several bottles to give to friends.

I'm extremely allergic, and was excited about this product. I followed the directions on the lable, and applied it 15 min bf I went outside. I put it on with the intent of getting rid of the poison ivy in my yard. Once I started working I noticed that where I applied the lotion on my arms, it started to get warm and burn a little, after about 30 min. of working, the sensation was worrisome. I washed it off and the next day had a light poison ivy rash. It wasn't nearly as bad as it has been in the past, so it does work some, but not completely when in direct contact, and for me, not without some side effect.

I am one of those fortunate 1% known as "hyper sensitive". I do not even need to come in contact with the plant to get an urushiol reaction. If a deer brushes past the plant and then sheds fur on the trail, I get it. Dust that gets through my clothes exposes me to it. Allergists across the west coast marvel at my sensitivity. Whoopee. And EVERY TIME I am exposed, I go on meds, or else ruin sheets with three week long oozing. I stockpile Prednisone. I have, therefore, created a system to cleanse myself of the resin as I hike or ride, and it usually works pretty well. I was recently doing some recon on some older trails, and I went through tons of oak, but I did not get any reaction. So I give this product a 4 star rating, as it seems like it did the job, but then, if it works, nothing happens, right? So nothing happened. I assume that it was because of the block, but I don't know for sure. Unlike Technu, it does not smell really wierd, and I think it even has SPF. I have added it to my voodoo ceremony against urushiol, and am optimistic... although I will not even consider ending my proven regimen of cleansing. Still be careful, but this does seem to provide a certain amount of protection. For those of you like me, remember to trust nothing, fully.

Have used Ivyblock about twenty times now in heavy poison ivy.

In an area which previously caused massive portions of poison ivy across my arms, ivyblock, when properly applied, diminishes the effect of poison ivy tremendously. It is not 100% perfect, but you can tell it is doing its job when the poison ivy you do get is only small dots in comparison to giant raw patches.

I can't express how happy I am with how this product works. It is the only product on the market that literally works in PREVENTING poison ivy. If you are looking for a solution to avoid terrible, painful poison ivy sensitivity, you must try this product. It's great to see an affordable solution at a decent price to solve this problem - the bottle has lasted me over 20 applications.

This stuff really works. I've used it for years on mountain bike trails. I forgot to put it on once. Once.
It's a runny cream. You smear it on like sun block. Shower it off when you're done.

My daughter has been using this product religiously since her last outbreak of Poison Ivy. So far she has remained clear. It's been about 2 weeks.
