Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac

The irritant in poison oak/ivy that makes you break out is present in all parts of the plant- leaves, stem, berries, roots. When burned, it can also be given off in the smoke. It would be a good idea to remove any large poison ivy vines, and dispose of them before burning the wood.

All symptoms should subside within a week.

The word rarely is the adverb, as it describes when or where the poison ivy grows.

Well let me tell you this no you can not but you can if the rash or the first few bumps you get wich are the producer of all the other ones you may get. But if you have had the rash and it makes more the rashes those are only contrast to the owner of the first rash.

Yes, but Lye works better

Probably.

The allergic reaction should be treated by immediately washing the area with soap and water. Taking a bath immediately is not recommended as it could spread the reaction.

You can dry it out. Rubbing alcohol, white vinager or calamine lotion are very good for poison ivy. The alchol and vinager stings but it feels alot better.

Poison Ivy doesn't effect some does, but for dogs who are allergic to poison ivy it can appear cause anything from slight irritation of the skin. To developing a rash with/without blistering, hives and/or swelling.

If the dog is not allergic there won't be any signs of a reaction to the plant.

I've read that sprinkling lemon juice is a good alternative. This probably depends on the recipe..

Yes if prescribed by a doctor. Dermatologists may prescribe oral prednisone or a topical steroid to help treat poison ivy. However, oral steroids are usually reserved for severe cases as it will usually resolve on its own with proper care.

I have seen it on the east side of Mount Moriah near the Utah/Nevada border at about 6000' elevation.

There is no cure for poison ivy, but symptoms can be managed with over-the-counter remedies such as calamine lotion, hydrocortisone cream, or oral antihistamines. In severe cases, a doctor may prescribe a stronger steroid medication. It is important to avoid scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation and spread of the rash.

In theory yes. The oil from Poison Ivy can last a very long time and is very resilient. It can even survive being burnt in a fire and the smoke that is inhaled can cause blisters in the lungs. Many experts say it can last up to 10 years after the plant has died. If you shower prior to going into the hot tub and used soap it probably would not cause any problems but I would check with a Doctor first. If you got into a hot tub with a hyper sensitive person, and there are many, even a small amount diluted into the water could cause the rash to appear. I believe that something like 1 in 13 are not affected by the oil. Pretty good chance everyone you know will get the rash if exposed. Considering the parts of the body exposed and that they would be the most sensitive to the oils I would not go in even if no one else was in there. If you had it on your shins and got into the tub it could spread to your abdomen or worse, genitals, ouch. Talk about socially inappropriate scratching! Your hands and the soles of your feet tend to be the least affected to the oil due to the thickness of the skin in those areas. Last, despite what you may hear you cannot be desensitized to the affect of the oil. Most children when exposed do not develop the rash. Your body becomes more sensitive to it the older you get from even the smallest exposure. This leads many people to falsely believe that Poison Ivy does not affect them and foolishly expose themselves to the plant and find out the hard way. I was one of them.

Dicots can be herbaceous or woody plants. The vascular bundles in their stems are arranged in in a ring around a small pith. The vascular cambium produces secondary xylem toward the interior of the stem, and secondary phloem toward the outside of the stem. Dicot leaves display a netted reticulate venation pattern that can be either palmate or pinnate. The dicot flower parts will be in multiples of four or five. The embryo will have two cotyledons. Some examples of dicots are: magnolias, oaks, beeches, willows, maples, asters, zinnias, marigolds, cacti, jade plant , tomatoes and potatoes, poison ivy, cotton, blueberries, and rhododendrons

In the Batman movie that makes fans cringe: Batman and Robin. George Clooney is Batman, Chris O'Donnel is Robin.

there are lots of ways to cure poison ivy, but one of the popular est is to wash the affected area and cold water with soap. if you use this cure within 5 minutes then it will keep the poison from seeking into your skin. a big mistake most people make is using hot water but this does not work, it opens the pores in your skin and lets the poison seek in.

Poison ivy typically starts growing in the spring, usually around late April to early May. It thrives in warmer weather and can be found in various habitats, including forests, fields, and along roadsides.

first you put rubbing alcohol on the infected areas then rinse it with cold water, do NOT use warm water it will open up your pores and make the poison oils seep in more. Then you can use anti oil dish soap on it, it will make it so it doesn't spread any further. Oatmeal baths work good too. Make sure to keep your hands clean so you do not spread the oils anymore that they already are. Wash them frequently.

No, you should not use silver sulfadiazine cream on poison ivy. Silver sulfadiazine is an antibiotic cream that is used to treat wounds and burns. It works by killing bacteria that can cause infection. However, poison ivy is not caused by bacteria, but by an oil called urushiol. Urushiol is a very potent allergen that can cause a rash, blisters, and itching. Silver sulfadiazine will not help to treat the rash caused by poison ivy, and it may actually make it worse.

If you have come into contact with poison ivy, the best thing to do is to wash the affected area with soap and water as soon as possible. You can also apply a cool compress to the area to help relieve the itching. If the rash is severe, you may need to see a doctor for treatment.

Here are some home remedies that can help to relieve the symptoms of poison ivy:

Calamine lotion

Oatmeal bath

Baking soda paste

Witch hazel

Tea tree oil

If you are allergic to poison ivy, you may also want to take an over-the-counter antihistamine, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl).

It is important to note that poison ivy can be very contagious. If you have come into contact with it, it is important to wash your clothes and any other items that may have come into contact with the oil. You should also avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth after handling poison ivy.

A diagnosis is made based on the symptoms and a physical examination of the patient.

More, that diagnosis will be made in no small part to the chance of exposure to urushiol-bearing plants like Poison Icy, etc. If the patient has been out hiking in an area bearing such planes, this will aid the diagnosis. Likewise, if the user has not, that can help RO such a diagnosis.

Mid to late spring is the best time. See Sources and Related Links for more details.
