Summary: It works (I think)
Comment: I got a horrific case of poison ivy a couple months ago, and after recovering I bought this.

Now I use this product AND I also now wear long pants, a long sleeve shirt, and gloves, and I'm very careful to not wipe my face while working. As soon as I'm done working I take a hot shower and scrub like crazy, and I wash all my clothes in very hot water. Before I wasn't nearly as careful.

I haven't gotten poison ivy since doing all of this. I do think a large part of the protection is from fully covering myself and washing right afterward, but I do think the Ivy Block does really help. I put it all over my hands and arms, and on my legs below the knee. My hands do feel a bit odd after putting it on--remember doing pottery at summer camp and afterward you'd sort of wash your hands but after they dried you'd still have clay residue on them? It's a lot like that.

But like I say, I think the stuff works. And considering that it's $15 for two bottles and a bottle will last for a year of occasional yard work, and considering that a case of poison ivy hurts like holy #@%(*@ and you're going to pay $20 to see a doctor and $20 for the prednisone to cure it, the Ivy Block is a great deal. I recommend it.
