Yes

Use rubbing alcohol on your tools, wash them down (using your rag) with the alcohol and then dry and oil your tools so they don't rust. For your clothing or gloves use fels-naptha soap (it's an old fashioned wood ash lye soap)

Poison ivy and its close relatives, poison sumac and poison oak exist in all parts of the United States and in the southern parts of Canada. If the redwood forest that you are referring to is within these boudaries, there is a good chance of one of these irritating plants being in it.

Summer tends to be the season that people identify as the 'worst' for poison ivy [Toxicodendron radicans] allergic reactions. But that's just because there are greater chances for human contact with the plant. In fact, urushiol oil, which is the cause of the reactions, is present in all plant body parts year round. Indeed, a fence against which poison ivy brushed may bring on an allergic reaction as much as 1-1/2 years later.

Yes. Poison ivy has an oily look and feel. You can get poison ivy touching the leaves,stem or roots. BUT you could be some of the lucky people who immune to the oil. But I wouldn't want to find out

corticosteroids

Yes it makes it go away faster

no cause it is dead

No, but it can give you a nasty case of internal poison ivy. Don't do it!

The person who wrote the answer above has no idea what they are talking about! The correct answer IS No, you wont become immune to it BUT you also wont develop any irritation internally!! I have been drinking poison ivy as a child and still am very fond of the tea. Also the irritation caused by poison ivy is not contagious, the irritation only occurs when the person comes into direct contact with the plant. As a child i picked poison ivy with my mother for tea and often "burned" myself. An easy and quick way to relieve irritation is to not disturb the effected area. If you don't touch it the irritation will pass in a few minutes. If irritation persists simply dab some tea tree oil over the effected area.

poison oak has five leaves....i think

I think it was Batman & Robin (1997)

Poison oak is a green plant, not a bacteria or virus.

Cut them back to about eight inches, stop watering them and store them in a cool, dry place like the cellar. You can also keep ivy geraniums (actually they are pelargoniums) in a sunny window throughout the winter. Once again, cut them back, but in this case just reduce watering. Let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings.

Poison ivy can be a climbing vine, shrub or bush. It has leaves that are elliptical in shape and grow in groups of three on a stem.

It can adapt and survive almost anywhere, even in human environment and global warming.

Poison Ivy oils often start a dermatologic reaction once contact with skin has been established. There are numerous over the counter options for poison ivy, including Ivarest, Ivastat and calamine lotion, and in severe cases, an antihistamine or even prescription steroids may be necessary.

I have athlets foot bad and was wondering if Mometasone furoate ointment can be used for athletes foot?

It is usually shinny with 3 leaves. Do not mistake poison ivy with the red vine you see sometimes. 7min itch is a ivy but not poison so don't mistake with that either. It can also look like a tree with a brown root climbing up it. It look much like when you get scratched hard and that place swells up.
