Q1: What is I.C. Ivy Block and when should it be applied?
A1: I.C. Ivy Block is a protective lotion designed to prevent poison ivy, oak, and sumac rashes. It should be applied before going outdoors or into areas where you may come into contact with these plants. Apply it before activities like hiking, gardening, camping, or any outdoor work where exposure is likely.

Q2: How does I.C. Ivy Block work to prevent poison ivy rash?
A2: I.C. Ivy Block forms a protective barrier on your skin that helps block the absorption of urushiol, the oil found in poison ivy, oak, and sumac that causes allergic reactions. This barrier prevents the oil from penetrating the skin, significantly reducing the likelihood of developing a rash.

Q3: How should I apply I.C. Ivy Block for maximum protection?

Q5: How long does I.C. Ivy Block last, and do I need to reapply it?
A5: I.C. Ivy Block typically lasts for several hours, depending on your activity level and environmental conditions. If you are sweating heavily, swimming, or if the lotion is washed off, it’s advisable to reapply for continuous protection.

Q6: What should I do if I’ve already been exposed to poison ivy?
