Contact with irritants from poison ivy, oak and sumac can turn into itchy problems. Use Tecnu Original Outdoor Skin Cleanser, a poison ivy wash, after you have been outdoors to remove the rash causing oil, called urushiol (oo-roo-she-all), from poison ivy, oak and sumac.

Product Description

Wash with Tecnu to remove poison ivy, oak and sumac oil. Simply apply Tecnu to dry skin, rub vigorously for two minutes, and rinse with cool water or wipe off with a cloth. When used within 2-8 hours after exposure to poison oak, ivy or sumac, Tecnu can remove urushiol oil before the rash begins. Once a poison plant rash has started, washing with Tecnu helps remove any free oil on the skin allowing the natural healing process to begin without the possible spreading of poison ivy or oak (re-contamination).

Poison ivy and oak oil can also spread from contaminated clothing, shoes, gloves, tools and pets. Since urushiol oil does not evaporate, it can remain on these items for months or even years at a time. Use Tecnu Original to wash off the oil and avoid a poison ivy or oak rash from secondary contact.

Tecnu Original can be found at a local retailer near you or online.

Tecnu Original Outdoor Skin Cleanser is now available for sale in Canada! You can order at www.tecnu.ca.

With Tecnu Extreme Poison Ivy & Oak Scrub, you can cleanse away the rash-causing oil from poison oak and ivy plants in just 15 seconds! Removing this oil is the most important step, followed by application of an anti-itch treatment such as Calagel Medicated Anti-itch Gel or Tecnu Rash Relief Spray.

Product Description

Poison ivy, oak and sumac rash is caused by the skin's reaction to the plant's oil, urushiol (oo-roo-she-all). For effective poison ivy or oak treatment, you must first remove the urushiol oil to keep it from spreading and also apply an anti-itch treatment to alleviate the painful, itchy rash symptoms. Washing with Tecnu Extreme for 15 seconds removes the rash-causing plant oil, stops spreading, and gently exfoliates. After effectively removing the oil, follow up with an anti-itch treatment if needed.

If you know you have been exposed to poison ivy or oak, Tecnu Extreme can be used to remove the poison oil that causes rash and itching if used within 8 hours after exposure to the poison ivy, oak and sumac plants before a rash appears.

With just one application, The 10 Hour Insect Repellent will protect you from biting insects including mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, no-see-ums, chiggers, horse flies and biting flies for up to 10 full hours.

Product Description

Repel insects that are known for carrying diseases such as West Nile Virus, Encephalitis, and Lyme Disease with a 100% DEET insect repellent that has been tested in the field. The 10 Hour Insect Repellent is designed for outdoor work crews who are in the elements with biting insects, such as mosquitoes, chiggers and ticks all day. The active ingredient is 100% DEET (N, N-Diethyl-m-toluamide) to offer up to 10 hours of protection without reapplication. Because you only need a few sprays, the 2 oz. atomizer spray typically lasts as long as 3 aerosol cans. There is no scent added to The 10 Hour Insect Repellent and it is formulated not to sweat off.

The history of DEET

In 1954, after 15 years of research and testing of over 11, 000 compounds, DEET insect repellent was developed by the United States Department of Agriculture for the U.S. Army. This formulation has been found to be the most effective insect repellent available to give them the protection needed.

The 10 Hour Insect Repellent is now standard issue in the first aid kits of utilities, railroads, park crews and forestry departments.
