>The ingredient in Avon's Ivy Block is Bentoquantum 5% and the bottle says
for maximum protection avoid contact with poison ivy, poison oak and poison
sumac.  "Helps protect against p.i., p.o. & p.s. rash when applied before
contact."  Also advises to apply 15 minutes before possible contact with
plants.  You want to cover exposed areas with wet film and let it dry.  You
can see the areas that are
covered and therefore protected.  While still wet it is flammable due to
alcohol which evaporates as it dries.  Not for kids under 6.   Call Avon's
product ingredient line for more info. 1 800 445-2866, M-F,8-6
