Frequently Asked
Questions, page 2
Is IvyBlock lotion safe? Will it irritate my skin?
IvyBlock is very safe and should not irritate your skin.
Tests show IvyBlock is non-irritating and
non-sensitizing (non-allergenic). As with any product,
you should read the directions and ingredients before
use. Do not use if you react to any of the ingredients.
Is IvyBlock lotion a seasonal product?
No, because poison ivy is not seasonal. Urushiol, the
allergenic substance that causes poison ivy, oak, and
sumac rashes, is a very stable chemical and can cause a
reaction even during the cold weather months. Poison
plants contain urushiol throughout the year and the oil
is potent in all seasons. Use of IvyBlock can be
beneficial all year long, especially for very sensitive
individuals.
If I wear gloves or protective clothing, do I still
need to apply IvyBlock lotion?
Yes, absolutely. Apply IvyBlock to skin areas at risk of
exposure. This includes secondary contact areas, which
can result from transfer of the oil from contaminated
clothing, shoes/boots, tools and pets. For maximum
protection, apply IvyBlock to arms, hands and legs even
when protective clothing is worn. |
