I was pulling what I thought were weeds on a hot day in shorts and needless to say I was covered with poison ivy rash that night I remembered I had (Calagel) from working with the phone company (Frontier). The next day I really glossed myself in gel and in minutes it was like I never had an Itch at all. The marks were there but allowing not to scratch it made it go away in a few days. BEST THING I EVER USED THANK YOU TECNU
