Never (naively) wait three days and then you will have an awful full-blown case of poison oak..... with perhaps a visit to the hospital or emergency room. Repetitively apply it where there might be tiny invisible scratches on your skin where it is the thinnest (often the inside of the wrist). (=the voice of experience from a geologist who has had poison oak hundreds of times .... but is now fully prepared with Tecnu) Yes, you will still get a (mild) case of poison oak, but Tecnu beats it down and within a week, you are back to normal."
"I use to get poison oak every few months for years, now none since I started using this stuff."
"It certainly hasn't stopped me getting poison oak, but when I'm running a saw through the stuff for about 8 hours at a time that's probably not a fair thing to expect."
"I have a lot of poison ivy around my property and normally get poison ivy multiple times throughout the summer."
"However, since I started using this product to wash my body, tools, clothes, I have been free of rashes from poison ivy."
"This stuff works wonderfully against ANY rash that a person has!"
"I bought this after my first and only nightmarish bout with poison ivy."
"This stuff is wonderful to have."

( And I changed the water in the bird bath weekly) This summer I only changed the water when it got dirty unlike last summer when every week it had baby mosquitoes in it !"
"The bugs aren't bad yet so I haven't been able to put it up to a true test, but I threw them in my neighbor's abandoned pool and I'm hoping for a much more bearable summer this year than I had last year."
"The second year we had hardly any dragonflies, and the few mosquitoes we started with were back around. The first year the mosquitoes were pretty bad, but the second year the dragonflies had returned, the mosquitoes are back down to just a few, and balance is restored."
"Hope the dunks will still contain active Bti as shipping package was horrible (see pics)."
"I have large buckets that I catch rain water in to water my plants."
"Living in the rainforest on The Big Island of Hawaii, mosquitoes are ever present, and the use of catchment tanks makes matters notably worse."

Find Best Price at Amazon"He simply realized that it worked on skin rashes like poison ivy and started his own company and now sells the EXACT same stuff for a huge markup to drugstores. Mean Green is just sold to car mechanics and other industrial workplaces that need a cleanser for greases and oils. I still get occasional small rashes because the poison ivy oils stay on everything the dogs touch, but now it's a very very minor annoyance as I scrub the area with Mean Green once or twice and the problem is alleviated/gone. Please rate this review highly in order for other folks to both stop itching and save money! UPDATE: Read this recent (2015) post: http://www.amazon.com/review/R14D31M55N3ZN1/ref=cm_cr_rev_detmd_pl?ie=UTF8&asin=B0000Y3GJS&cdForum=Fx2JLQNATBZ71VL&cdMsgID=Mx3LKJ736J4E8OP&cdMsgNo=44&cdPage=5&cdSort=oldest&cdThread=Tx1OWGQ7EZE6S5H#Mx3LKJ736J4E8OP ... My experience jibes with this reviewer."
"Here's my story: Back in 1994, I was clearing an overgrown section of my backyard. Upon attempting to clear the tangle, I noticed it was poison ivy. To the point, I had just sent poison ivy spores flying into the air courtesy of the weed whacker. As a result, I ended up with poison ivy spots all over: legs, arms, neck. A co-worker noticed me scratching and applying Caladryl (which is useless) and told me about ZANFEL. Just gently but briskly massage ZANFEL over the affected area. 4) You will feel a mild "sand paper" effect while rubbing due to the micro-beads. If, in the 30 seconds, you no longer feel the beads, the amount you used has done its job and is loaded with poison ivy oil. 5) After the ZANFEL has treated an affected area, DO NOT let it dry on your skin. Just remember to rinse the area you swiped the ZANFEL from. 7) After treating an area for the 30 seconds, rinse the ZANFEL. If, at any time, it begins oozing or itching again, treat the area again. These are the instructions the person who called me gave me because they were afraid I was using too much. If the ZANFEL goes smooth (micro-beads dissolved), rinse it off, check the area, and use a bit more as necessary. They have to come in direct contact with the poison ivy vine or the spores. If your hand comes in contact with your poison ivy reaction (via scratching, oozing, etc.). If your dog or cat comes in contact with your reaction and then rubs on you somewhere else, that new area will probably react. I've never used Mean Green on poison ivy so I cannot comment on its effectiveness for treating it. 5) ZANFEL used to advertise that it basically removes anything foreign from your skin. If it begins to dry up while treating/massaging an area, simply add a drop or two of water; just enough to keep it moist."

"The gel doesn't drip directly from the tube like the liquid one, and needs to be spread with finger (like Neosporin); both are great."
"I had good luck with the ammonia type pen, although it flows too fast and ran down your skin, wasting the product."
"We live by the woods and our 2 and 4 year old boys are constantly getting bug bites - doesn't help that they love to run around outside without shoes on..."
"I found it on Amazon thank goodness."
"BUT : I find if I put it on a mosquito bite that I've scratched and broken the skin, it forms a horrible black scab that lasts for days & days."
"This stuff takes away the sting & itch better than anything else I have tried -- except the original formula, which was basically ammonia in a roll-on stick."
"Purchased this to use when my daughter inevitably got mosquito bites."

"This product helped us get our yard back from the mosquitos."
"I read the description and instructions, it states that the dunks don't harm birds."
"I made a homemade bird bath and filled it with beautiful glass stones and marbles."
"I use these 'dunks' in my rain barrels, fountains and bird baths (this also comes in a shake container), they definitely work!"
"We had a few neighbors move in over the past 12 months and we had talked about how bad the bugs would get. So I told them and we all began using them to cut down on the bugs and while it takes a few days or so for the current mosquitos to die, it kills the larva, and with some luck and consistency takes care of a reasonable (but darn sure noticeable) 80-85% of the skeeters that would have been biting us up non stop."
"I've been using Mosquito Dunks for about six years - they seem to work pretty good."
