What do you do when you have poison ivy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Be certain to thoroughly wash all affected body parts with cold water and strong detergent soap (never use hot water as it opens up skin pores driving the urushiol resin still deeper inside your skin). Never pop or rupture the blisters. Keep affected areas clean and open to the air, allowing them to dry out. It is not recommended to cover over or bandage the oozing blisters as it may lead to further complications still later on. If an infection develops immediately seek medical care from a trained medical professional.

If the itching becomes so great use benadryl gel, or hot compresses to ease the discomfort.

How would you no if you have poison ivy in your mouth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you get poison ivy on your tongue, which you can do if you put the leaves in your mouth or are exposed to the smoke from burning poison ivy, you should see a doctor.

There's no topical treatment except perhaps sucking on ice chips to numb the area. Your doctor might consider a course of prednisone.

The swelling might begin to interfere with your breathing. Then you should get to a hospital for treatment to ensure you don't suffocate while getting over this allergic reaction.
