Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac

Itchy, irritated bumps on the hands that resemble poison ivy could be a result of contact dermatitis from exposure to an irritant or allergen. This condition can come and go depending on the exposure. It is advisable to see a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and management.

Poison sumac is a shrub or small tree with smooth, hairless leaves that typically cluster in groups of 7-13, forming a leaflet at the end of a stem. The leaves are oval-shaped and have a waxy appearance, with a shiny green color that turns red or orange in the fall. It produces small, greenish-white flowers in loose clusters that develop into white berries.

If you have a severe allergy to poison ivy, you will most likely also be allergic to cashews. Cashews are from the poison ivy family, and can contain similar allergens. The reason you never see cashews with a shell on them is because the shell has the same irritating oils that poison ivy leaves have on them.

Most people that have minor skin breakouts from poison ivy (not a severe allergy) should not have an issue with consuming cashews.

Poison Ivy can be spread to multiple locations while shingles will follow limited individual nerve paths on one side of the body. Additionally, shingles is very painful. Poison Ivy rash can sometimes be dotted trails along the leg if one walked through it. Inspect your entire body for multiple rashes from cross contamination to distinguish the two.

You can, if you have placed the leaves in contact with your tongue, or with something that had the plant's toxins (Urushiol) on it.

There's no topical treatment for poison ivy in your mouth except perhaps sucking on ice chips to numb the area. In this unusual case, your doctor might consider a course of prednisone (which I'd recommend he start with an injection).

If this in any way comes even a little close to impairing your breathing, off you go to the Emergency room. Poison Ivy works as an allergy works, with all the incumbant dangers allergies present.

You can also get it in your mouth or tongue by burning it. The toxins travel in the smoke as well.

Zanfel is specifically designed to treat poison ivy, oak, and sumac reactions by removing the toxin that causes the rash. It is not intended for treating acne. For acne, it is recommended to use products specifically formulated to address acne-causing factors such as excess oil production, bacteria, and inflammation.

My wife and I planted 6 Junipers a couple of days ago. Her arms are covered with a rash where mine are fine, both having wore short sleeve shirts. I'm not familiar with what poison ivy rash looks like, so I couldn't say if this is similar. Both of us are fair-skin with freckles. She's definitely a redhead, where you can see a tinge of red in my beard. I don't know if this makes her more sensitive, or not. I do recall installing fiberglass with a group of guys and them asking why I wasn't itching like they were. It never bothered me, I guess. Related??

Yes, in the early stages it can. When the oil of the plant, urushiol, remains on the skin, skin to skin contact with the affected area may spread the rash from person to person. It can also be spread through unwashed clothing that was in contact with urushiol from the plant or the skin. Once the oils are washed from or fully absorbed into the skin, it can no longer be passed from person to person.

An old saying serves to differentiate between the similar poison ivy and Virginia creeper. For the five-leaved Virginia creeper tends not to be noxious to humans. But with poison ivy, it's well to remember 'leaves of three let it be'. Additionally, poison ivy has a light-colored berryabout which the warning is 'berries of white run in fright'.

Poison ivy can cause a red, itchy rash with bumps or blisters. The rash often appears in streaks or patches where the plant's leaves brushed against the skin. If you suspect you have come in contact with poison ivy, wash the affected area with soap and water as soon as possible and seek medical attention if the rash is severe.

Yes, blisters from a poison ivy rash can ooze yellow liquid. This is a common reaction as the body tries to get rid of the irritant. It is important to avoid scratching the blisters to prevent infection.

Urushiol (pronounced oo-roo-shee-ohl), is a chemical in the sap of poison ivy, this sap can stick to people, pets, garden tools, balls, or anything it comes in contact with. If the urushiol isn't washed off those objects or animals, just touching them--for example, picking up a ball, petting a dog, or hugging a gardener could cause a reaction in a susceptible person. Urushiol that's rubbed off the plants onto other things can remain potent for years, depending on the environment.

To clean your baseball glove from poison ivy, first put on protective gloves to avoid direct contact with the poison ivy oils.

From the North American countries of Canada, Mexico and the United States of America is where poison ivy [Toxicodendron radicans] comes from. The plant tends not to be found above altitudes of 4,900 feet [1,500 meters]. It also tends to be most common along the edges of wooded areas. But it's very adaptable, particularly to the challenges of human development and global warming.

You can use cortizone. This comes in a tube for skin rashes. If the itch is very bad you can soak in a tub of warm water and (believe it or not) oatmeal. Yes, pour in a box of oatmeal and soak in the water for an hour and this will help ease the itching. Make sure you pat dry and not wipe dry as patting dry will not spread the rash.

They won't pass on the poison ivy if they bathed and changed clothes to get the oil from the leaves off of them. If, however, the first person touches the other person soon after initial contact, it's entirely possible the other person may also be afflicted.
