Thank you!!! I'm am seriously allergic to poison everything!! I have a cream that my Doctor formulated and has mixed at a compounding pharmacy. I apply it every time I go hiking or camping,and it works well. They have told me for 30 years to stay out of the woods,but that's like telling me not to breathe. We are coming back to Oregon in September for a few weeks to hike some more. The product Zanfel is amazing,but it's like 40 bucks. Caladryl is good for itching. I absolutely love your channel,and appreciate what you do. You should come and visit Kentucky. I live on Kentucky lake across from Land Between The Lakes,and cant imagine being anywhere else. Much loves!!!

First time in 77 years!! Just gardening. Got it on my arm and my face. Didn't know what it was cuz I'd been around it all my life and never got "bit". Washed with Dawn to get the oil off, but apparently not fast enough. Used the technu first and then CalaGel (clear)to keep itching at a sane level. Antihistamines also. (Wall Act generic actifed.) Urushiol spreads with sweat too.

The tecnu extreme gel worked awesome for me I came into contact with poison oak (not aware for several hours) got the itchy and redness and started to use the gel and it’s almost gone after 1-2 days of using and will buy a few more for storage cause this stuff really kicked the poison oak in the butt and made this not so unbearable thanks for the suggestion.

@HikeOregon 2 года назад

@daphlavor 4 года назад

I was restocking firewood on a camping trip, wearing gloves. A few days later my arms now have the rash. I started using Ivarest, keeps the itching down. Now I have washed everything including my bed sheets, next is my sleeping bag. Washing up is a must on any outdoor activities. The sooner the better. The firewood must have had vines on them. Stay safe, stay informed!

@aldod3937 2 года назад

I've gotten it all over my legs and arms in the past 2 weeks I haven't use tecnu but I'm pretty sure it's okay to use both as long as you give them time to penetrate in-between especially after using the soap, I was a pharmacy technician for 14 years I did get paid a methasone cream prescribed 5% which has helped a lot but you know what a good shower with a good cleaning and some calamine lotion has been doing wonders

@codyrebelcb 2 года назад

You just need friction and some dish soap. No special chemicals needed, in fact. It's chemically an oil and only starts to cause a rash if left on the skin, hence why scrubbing it off with a rag and dawn will help if not completely take it away. Also make sure to throw away the rag, obviously.

@kevinsatterwhite536 3 года назад

I react pretty badly to poison ivy. I have had doctors prescribe me Prednisone which will shorten the duration of the rash/blisters.

@RC-eb5hq Год назад

Yes, prednisone works like a dream, but bad side effects...damages joints, disrupts immune system, weight gain, emotional upheaval, etc. Best treatment is prevention. Learn to identify and AVOID!

@valarietaylor3653 4 года назад

This company is an Oregon company. It's a great product. Be sure to use it as soon as possible after coming in contact with poison oak,ivy or sumac. I've had p.oak so bad I've had to go to the doctor for a RX for it. He told me that there are about 9 different varieties, if you will, of poison oak so you may not break out if you come in contact with one but you may eventually be in an area where you come in contact with some that will make you break out horribly.

@HikeOregon 4 года назад

That is so interesting.

@alexwbanks70 4 года назад

If I look at it I get it. :-( I've actually found that if I just wash it off immediately even with water that'll work. Or even better use Dawn. I think Dawn is magic for everything. But I definitely need some of those packets.

Anthony Martinez it could have gotten to your stomach from contact while sleeping- scratched your face, then touched your stomach ...it just happened to me! It’s easily spread

@HikeOregon 3 года назад

This is why it is important to use the Tecnu wash. After you wash the oils off your skin it cannot continue to spread. Also make sure to wash all of your clothes and tools after handling poison oak/ivy/sumac.

@HikeOregon 3 года назад

The wash only helps after exposure before you get the rash. At this point there’s nothing you can do to make it go away except help with the itchy symptoms by using the gel. If you live somewhere where it is prevalent then I recommend getting some of the wash so you can use it next time right after exposure.

The best way to get rid of the rash. Pour white vinegar on a towel or cotton ball and also pour a little vinegar on the rash and then scrub the rash for a minute with the soaked towel or cotton ball. The rash will be gone in a few hours. This will also get rid of the itch. Reapply again the next day if needed

@alanvallazza9781 2 месяца назад

The goal is to come in as soon as you can into the shower, at least I would do a shower. Use a washcloth and thoroughly scrub yourself with the liquid. I would also get the skin a little wet with lukewarm water. Then once you got yourself scrubbed thoroughly you would put on a little bit of cold water, make it colder than hotter, so that it will work and not open up the pores. Then what you do is you rinse it all off and you make sure it's all off. Then dry yourself. At that point you got to go wash everything in the washing machine including the washcloth. Then you're good to go.

@johnwedzicha Год назад

These methods are Stone Age! Go to light speed. Brake Parts Cleaner spray cans available at any auto parts. A liberal spraying will dissolve and wash away the oils causing the discomfort. Have a can in your car's trunk or bring it with you if you go into infested areas. Relief is instant and lasting with a liberal spray. Sorry to blow her methods away but this works as per the fact that the oil from the plants is the cause and brake parts cleaner removes it the fastest way possible other than not exposing yourself in the first place. Cheers y Pura Vida BTW it also works on Stinging Nettles.

Well I'm 50/50 between buying tecnu extreme which is a lower costing gel of the same thing that is for washing off the oil or just Palmolive dishwashing detergent especifically for poison ivy. The goal is whatever you use to get it all around you and rinse it off quickly to get the oil off. That's why you need a good washcloth.
