I am clearing land to build a house, the area has massive amounts of poison ivy. This is the first time, after using ivy block, that I haven`t returned home full of blisters. I found the lotion dried out my skin but that is a small price to pay.
I`m a trail runner with poison oak sensitivity. After a few bad outbreaks on arms and legs, I tried Ivy Block and have been very satisfied. I still occasionally get hit but it`s always on spots that I haven`t covered as thoroughly. If you can`t cover up with clothes, this is the next best thing.
This product didn`t work for me... I had to remove some large poison ivy vines that were girdling a pine tree. It was a big task, and I wanted some extra protection. I was wearing long pants and a long sleeved shirt. I rolled up my sleeves and applied the Ivy Block to my arms. I used generous amounts of the lotion, and then waited 15 minutes. I put on gloves and proceeded to tackle the vines. The job took about 2-3 hours. Afterwards, I thoroughly rinsed and cleansed my arms with soap and water. Then I threw my clothes in the washer and took a shower.
Two days later, my arms are covered in blisters and itching madly! The "funny" thing is that I don`t have a rash anywhere else on the rest of my body -- only the areas where my skin was exposed (my arms) and where I used the Ivy Block for protection. Even my hands were saved, just by wearing gloves. It turns out that plain, loose fitting clothes are a much better protection against poison ivy than Ivy Block.
