Oregon-based Tec Labs are the outdoor itch experts. For over 40 years, Tec Labs has developed quality skin protection products to protect the skin from outdoor irritants.
Poison ivy, oak and sumac rashes are all caused by the same resinous oil. This oil produced by the plants is called urushiol (pronounced oo-roo-she-all). The rash is your body's allergic reaction to the oil. This results in an itchy, bumpy rash that can produce blisters filled with fluid. A common misconception is that breaking the blisters will cause the fluid to spread the rash. If your poison ivy, oak or sumac rash is spreading, it is because the rash-causing oil is spreading. Tecnu is the original poison ivy treatment, which can remove urushiol from nearly anything. Tecnu Extreme Poison Ivy Scrub is an all-body protective solution that handles all the tougher jobs.
