Zanfel Poison Ivy Wash from Zanfel Labs is designed to allow the affected person to literally wash away urushiol oil which is the toxin contained in plants that irritates 85% of the population. The wash can be used at anytime after contact and on any part of the body including the face and genitals.
Designed originally for over the counter, commercial use, Army personal began using the soap after finding that poison ivy related hospital stays were reduced from 3 days to as little as 2 hours meaning after a single use, a patient can be immediately returned to duty.
One important tip that Zanfel wanted us to pass along is that poison ivy oils can stay viable for up to 5 years and footwear and in particular laces retain these oils. According to them the best cure for this issue is to wash your shoes or boots with simple dishwashing liquid.

Thanks for the great article. Zanfel Laboratories had a stellar experience at its first Modern Day Marine conference. We went through almost 2,000 samples in less than three days. While driving around the base at Quantico, it was amazing to see all of the poison ivy on the trees that was in full fall bloom with its red leaves. Based upon the number of LIVE cases of poison ivy we saw at the booth, there is definitely an opportunity for Zanfel with these warriors!
See you next year!
Thank you.
