I HAD PI FOR THE FIRST TIME 8 YRS AGO. I HAD THE SHOT AND MEDS AS WELL AND IT STILL TOOK A TOTAL OF ROUGHLY TWO TO THREE MONTHS TO GET RID OF IT.IT WAS UP AND DOWN BOTH LEGS. IVE BEEN TRYING TO GET RID OF PI FOR A WEEK NOW.I GOT IT FROM MY HUSBAND WHO HAD BEEN OUT HUNTING.IVE TRIED ALL OF THE OTC STUFF AND IT WAS GETTING WORSE,WHILE HIS IS HEALING. I CAME TO THIS WEBSITE AND THOUGHT ID TRY THE NATURAL REMEDIES (I ALREADY HAD THE TEA-TREE OIL) I USED A COTTONBALL RUBBED IT ON,LET IT SET ABOUT 15 MIN. THEN TOOK A SHOWER AND USED O.T.C IVYDRY. IT IS A WASH. THEN WHEN I GOT OUT I USED MORE TEA TREE OIL. WOW WITHIN A FEW MINUTES THE ITCHING WAS 90% BETTER,AND WITHIN A FEW HOURS THE REDNESS AND SWELLING(WHICH WAS QUITE SUBSTANTIAL) HAS DECREASED AT LEAST BY 60%. ITS WORTH A TRY AND ONLY COSTS ABOUT 5.00 FOR A BOTTLE AT DISCOUNT STORES. I REALLY DIDNT THINK I WOULD FEEL THIS MUCH BETTER THIS FAST..
