Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac

Pretty much so; however, you can brush against it, and not get it on your skin until later when you take your clothes off.

mud can get rid of the poison ivy fast and eliminate some of the redness but the mud cant be too wet at the time that you apply it. If applied correctly the redness and blisters from poison ivy will soon disappear in as early as 3 days to a week.

Yes, I have gotten it twice.

The first time took about a week to become visible and the 2nd time it took a few days.

Yes they are.

No, you will not get poison ivy.

Yes, poison ivy can be spread through contact despite the patient's washing the affected areas prior to the interaction. An oil-based soap does not stop the effects of urushiol from spreading since poison ivy's toxin is soluble in oil. Proper containment procedures instead require washing with a mixture of 50 percent alcohol and 50 percent diluted 5 percent chlorine, followed by cleaning with an alkaline soap.

Since poison ivy is a plant its only defence is that when any thing touches it, it gives off poison onto your skin which looks like a red blotch on your skin. If you ever get poison ivy don't itch it that just makes it worse and once you touch it and you touch some were else on your skin it spreads. To treat it, use itch cream and if that doesn't work, talk to your pharmacist!!!

Poison Ivy Rorschach's birth name is Kristina Marlana Wallace.

Humans can develop a reaction to poison oak primarily through direct contact with the plant itself, rather than from animals. However, animals such as dogs and cats can carry the plant's oils (urushiol) on their fur after encountering poison oak, potentially transferring it to humans through petting or close contact. It's important for pet owners to be aware of this risk if their pets roam in areas where poison oak grows.

Well, depending on how severe it is you could use stronger or weaker ointments.

For mild I would probably use antibiotics which is the easiest way and does not hurt.

If it is in between I would normally use a spray that you could get at the clinic and then put on antibiotics.

And if it is absolutely severe I would probably do all of the above, go to a doctor, aaand use all of the anti pain cream (no drugs needed) on your wound.

If none of these work, contact a doctor IMMEDIATELY!

Amoxicillin-clavulanate (Amox TR K Clv) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections but is not effective for poison ivy, which is caused by an allergic reaction to urushiol oil in the plant. Treatment for poison ivy typically involves topical corticosteroids, antihistamines, and soothing skin care to relieve itching and inflammation. If you have a severe reaction, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for appropriate care.
