ZANFEL – Poison Ivy, Oak & Sumac Wash, 1 Oz – 2Pack

Description

Clinically Shown to Remove Urushiol Toxin
Urushiol is the toxin responsible for the itchy rash commonly associated with poisonous plants. It binds to the skin and results in the symptoms of itching, redness, and swelling.

Zanfel removes urushiol by binding with it to create an aggregated cluster, which can quickly and effectively be washed away with water. Other products merely mask the itching but do nothing to remove the real problem – urushiol.

Apply Zanfel any time after outbreak to encourage immediate healing. After completing the first treatment, you should be itch-free and 75-80% of the rash also should disappear within 24 hours. For most people, no more treatments are required.

The Solution to Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac.
Poison Ivy, the most common of the three plants, is characterized by three pointed leaflets. These leaves assume bright colors in the fall, turning yellow, then red. Poison ivy is found everywhere in the United States except Alaska, Hawaii, and California. It is most commonly found in the eastern and mid-western states.

MYTH: Scratching poison ivy blisters will spread the rash.
FACT: The fluid in the blisters will not spread the rash. Before blisters form, the rash can only be spread by unbound urushiol. You should still avoid scratching blisters, because fingernails may carry bacteria that could cause an infection.

MYTH: Poison ivy rash is “contagious” and can be spread from person to person.
FACT: The rash is a reaction to urushiol. The rash cannot pass from person to person after the urushiol binds to the skin.

MYTH: Dead poisonous plants are safe and no longer toxic.
FACT: Urushiol remains active for up to five years. Never handle dead plants that look like poison ivy without proper protection.

MYTH: After the first time, I can’t get poison ivy again.
FACT: Although not everyone reacts to poison ivy upon first or subsequent exposures, people generally become more sensitized with each contact and may react more severely to subsequent exposures. In addition, the reaction may last longer.
