My son and I have poison ivy. I just bought and tried some Zanfel, and it SEEMS to help, but before I spend $40 more on another tube, does it work long term? This is just too much money for a temporary fix.
Mine is mild, my son's is moderate/severe. I will get him steroids this week, but was hoping to avoid that for myself if this Zanfel works long term.
I understand the science, that it bonds with the poison ivy oils and allows them to be washed away.
It almost seems to good to be true.
Thanks for any testimonials--either way.
Poison IVY wash--Zanfel -- worth the $40??
Seems to be scientifically proven.
But it won't do anything long term since long term it's just a matter of how long it takes for the blisters to heal and nothing to do with that actual poison.
Reply:By original asker: The answer is no, it's not worth the 40. While it give the best temporary relief, and my son did see his blisters subside faster, the itching is still there--in spades.

Zanfel® Poison Ivy Wash is the only product clinically shown to remove the plants' toxin, urushiol, from the skin ANYTIME after the rash breaks out. Zanfel also provides relief from itching in 30 seconds.
ReplyDeleteOnce all of the plant's toxin has been removed during a Zanfel treatment, the body can immediately begin the healing process. (Instead of beginning the healing process after days and days of calamine lotion, steroids, or antihistamines.)
If anyone would like more information about the effectiveness of Zanfel, or the science behind the Zanfel product, please call me at 1-800-401-4002, menu option one.
