technu is a preventative not a use after getting it
cure....even though i like it and use it...
so says my DOCTOR

if your hands are really bad

go get some prednizone (prescription) because it really
kicks the crap out of it....

and VERY worth it

also poison oak only grows out west
poison IVY grows in the east
i have tons of it around here

YOUR DOCTOR IS WRONG. Technu is something mixed with sawdust that causes the oils to come to the surface and dry up. The sawdust absorbs the oils. It's not a preventative it's a cure. I use it 3-4 times a year. It lessens the itch and makes the PI etc disappear overnight.

Trust me when I say its poison oak.The borders of my property are loaded with it.There ain't any ivy or sumac leaf to be seen...just oak.

Technu is a major waste of money.91% Isopropyl Alc. does the same thing in the same amount of time.If the urushiol oil found in ivy,oak or sumac spends more than 10 mins on your skin you are screwed no matter what you use.

Its all about relieving the itch and drying the rash.99.9% of otc products suck.91% alc. is the best drying agent there is...my problem is the FREAKIN ITCH!!!!!!......I'M GOING INSANE!!!!!!

I have always used brown laundry soap - phels naptha sp? I use it to wash up with then also make a paste and leave it on it. It dries it up quicker. Also try Jewel weed if you have it around - its a natural cure. Last but not least for brief relief - try a blowdryer and or hot water. Blasting it with heat for a bit almost feels like you are scratching it. It brings up some natural endorphines or something and really gives some relief. In fact it gets addictive

Ivarest is what works for me.
