Zanfel ( Poison Ivy vs Bed Bugs)

It's a special wash for poison ivy rash. The manufacturer claims it stops the itching by bonding to the urushiol and removing it, even after the oil has bonded to the skin and your immune system has started attacking it (creating the rash and the itching). I have a tube of it here. I have used it with mixed results. The washes work best as preventatives after exposure but before the rash. Nothing except time is a cure. Treatments just try to contain the itch, the inflamation, and the other allergy symptoms. Yes, I know this used to be the conventional wisdom. But the point I was making is that Zanfel claims to have changed all that. Have you ever heard of Zanfel? Have you ever tried it? That was my question. I bought a tube of Zanfel a year ago to keep in the medicine cabinet when a friend swore by it, since I have 10 wooded acres with serveral patches of poison ivy. I've had occasion to use it 3 or 4 times, and I've not been impressed. I was wondering if anyone else has tried it with better results than I obtained. |
