These products are great for helping to prevent the rashes and blisters caused by coming into contact with poison ivy.   Obviously, he best way to avoid the dermatitis that is caused by these plants is to completely avoid coming into contact with them in the first place.   However, if this is unavoidable these products will go a long way to helping prevent possible painful rashes.
