Summary: 5 Stars
Never got PI in PA - walk through it weekly, no outbreak; then I went to NC and came back with poison 'something'. Outbreak started on a Sunday; I used Zanfel starting Thursday -- went to WalGreen's and spent the $40+ ... I was desperate! It did immediately relieve the itch -- and frankly that was worth the $40! I did have to use it again and again, first after 2 hours, then 6 hours, then 12 hours ... now (Monday)I just use it at night. I only had a very small area (about the size of playing card on one forearm). It did appear to speed up the recovery, but then I was still using Calamine lotion too. It's been 8 days since the first sign of PI and I'm definitely on the mend now - no oozing blisters, no discomfort. It did seem to make my skin redder for a few days. Neighbor told me to try bleach -- he swears by it. Given the price of Zanfel ... I just might if I ever encounter this again! Others recommended Dawn soap or Palm Oliver or Mean Green industrial soap ... all less expensive than Zanfel and supposedly just as effective. It would take a lot of Zanfel for a large outbreak ... and that would get quite expensive quickly ...Product Review: Works

I get poison ivy every year and this stuff really cures it quickly if you use it as soon as you realize you need it.Product Review: Works as advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
This product works as advertised, in today's day & age that's rare.
Itch is gone while applying it. Noticeable healing the next-day.
I've used it half a dozen times over the past 2 years.
Make sure to follow the directions! Last time I used it, I tried to use less than it says to since I had a very small splotch of Ivy. It didn't work. Next day I followed directions, worked perfectly.

Summary: 5 Stars
I've lived my entire life without ever getting Poison Oak or Poison Ivy...until recently. Most of my life I lived in California, where Poison Oak is prevalent, yet I always somehow avoided it during years of camping, hiking, and mountain biking. I moved to the East Coast 7 years ago and still went a long time without ever contracting Poison Ivy. That was until I bought a new house and was doing some weed pulling in my backyard. I neglected to identify the plant until it was too late. The Poison Ivy oil must have been on my skin for days before I recognized what it was. Around day 4 or 5 after contact, all the sudden, my contact areas started itching like crazy, got swollen, red, rashy, blistery...especially on my leg and arm.
I tried Caladryl to calm the itching, but it just got worse. According to the Zanfel instruction booklet, Poison Ivy peaks at around 7-8 days after initial contact. That's where I was yesterday...it was bad! So I researched Poison Ivy products and found Zanfel. I went to the pharmacy and paid ridiculous $$$ for one small tube of the stuff. The itching was so bad I didn't care what it cost. I went home immediately, followed the directions to a tee, and the itching stopped!!!
The next morning, the ares were still blistery and oozing a bit, but even my wife said they looked much better. Because they were starting to itch a bit again, I used more Zanfel during my morning shower and it stopped the itching immediately again!!! I then used alcohol swabs to disinfect the burst blisters, and then applied Caladryl and covered the ares with loose gauze to catch the oozing. I then suited up and went to work and haven't had any itching or problems at all today!
According to the Zanfel booklet, my rash areas should subside in the next few days. I'm at Day 9 after contact; it takes 2 weeks for mild cases to heal. So while Zanfel may seem overpriced, I think they know they have a winner of a product on their hands, and that they can charge as much as they want for it. I would defintely use it again...however, the better option might be to avoid the Ivy in my backyard by killing it with Round-Up and pine straw.
