Dragon's Blood works on poison ivy!!! I've had a case of
poison ivy all summer and have used everything in my
arsenal of preventatives and anti-itch stuff and it just pops
up somewhere else. I presume it's doggie paws spreading
it around. I spray Round Up on all I find, but the dogs seem to find more.

Anyway, I had a bit of DB left in a bottle and decided to
try that...why not? It works like a charm. Stops the itching and the spread quickly. Hooraaaaay!!!!! :rollhappy:

On poison oak too. And insect bites and stings.
And immediate relief from Shingles.
 
It IS exciting! This stuff ought to be sold by the gallon.
Justin try some on the poison ivy. Charles, I have a LOT
of allergies and if DB works so well on my itches, surly it
it will work on your dermatitis. The bottle I'm using is
even a bit diluted with water and it still works very well.
I'm in hawg heaven!
 
Where is the best place to get some? I just ordered a besseae and I want to have some first aid supplies on hand just in case.
 
Ray, I think Lance is correct. I've looked into some of the DB advertised for cosmetic use and it always has other ingredients no
matter what the ads say. I got interested when I saw it offered in a
very up scale catalog for $150.00 an ounce.
 
So is the processed unpure DB not effective for poison ivy? I'd save the good stuff for the plants.

The early tests we did with plants showed a poorer response with the commercial processed DB. But for the price difference and important use saving a few dollars on a bottle seems not wise. If you have poison ivy itch you probably want to use the most effective? :poke:

But that said the commercial DB is better than no DB.
 
Ray- dragon's blood is a loose term and it can refer to a few different plants that makes red sap, but on this forum, when DB is mentioned, we are only talking about the species Eric mentioned earlier.
The link you shared shows all different plants or dried up mess, and extracts, not pure harvest.
