Poison Oak, Ivy and Sumac Block

Long used by park workers, this cleanser cleans and decontaminates clothing and skin after exposure to poison oak, ivy and sumac. Its unique, waterless cleansing formula has been proven to remove the cause of the irritating itch and spreading rash, the poison plants' oil, urushiol. Urushiol "locks on" to skin cells within 20 minutes after exposure. Left untreated, skin will erupt into a red, itchy rash in 3 out of 4 people within 12 to 72 hours. This is specially formulated to "unlock" urushiol. It is available in a size easily carried by anyone who enjoys the outdoors but is threatened by contact with those three scourges of a good summer outing.
