Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac

Yes, but I don't know how well. If you really want to be rid of poison ivy, pick some jewel weed, otherwise known as Alegria del Hogar, Balsam-Weed, Balsamina foemina, Feng Xian Hua, Garden Balsam, Herbal Impatiens Balsamihal, Impatiens, Impatiens balsamina, Impatiens biflora, Impatiens capensis, Impatiens giorgii, Impatiens pallida, Impatiente, Jewel Balsam Weed, Jewel Weed, Quick-In-The-Hand, Silverweed, Slipper Weed, Speckled Jewels, Spotted Touch-Me-Not, Tou Gu Cao, Touch-Me-Not, Wild Balsam, Wild Celandine, or Wild Lady's

Slipper. (just in case it's easier to find by one of those.) then, juice it up and mix it with salt, and of you want, benzoyl peroxide.

No, you should not break open large poison ivy blisters as it can lead to infection and worsen the symptoms. It's best to let the blisters heal on their own and keep them clean and covered to prevent further irritation. If you're experiencing severe symptoms, consult a medical professional for appropriate treatment.

No, poison ivy is not native to Russia. However, there are plants with similar properties that can cause skin irritation, such as stinging nettle or cow parsnip.

Yes! I broke out in a rash very much like poison ivy. After talking to several people, one mentioned pokeweed. I looked it up on the Internet only to find out that was the "weed" I had been pulling out of my yard for the past week! The only thing I can figure out is that the birds have carried it in.

Yes, poison ivy does grow in North Carolina. It is commonly found throughout the state in various habitats such as forests, fields, and along roadsides. It is important to be able to identify and avoid contact with poison ivy due to its irritating sap that can cause a rash in sensitive individuals.

No, silver sulfadiazine is typically used for treating burns, not poison ivy. For poison ivy, it is recommended to use over-the-counter corticosteroid creams or calamine lotion to help reduce itching and inflammation. If the rash is severe or spreading, consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment.

Depending on the severity, poison ivy can be treated by over the counter medications such as benadryl. Most cases require prescription strength topical cortisone cream or even prednisone by mouth. Poison ivy can be contagious and can spread by person to person contact. Wash your hands frequently and avoid scratching the affected area(s) to prevent it from spreading.

Wash with mild soap and water - the sooner the better. After it's already blistered, some people say that Calamine lotion helps. Others say it doesn't. Leave it uncovered - try not to spread it to other areas of your body or to someone else. Advice to be taken at your own risk:

Apply bleach (Chlorox) diluted 1:1 with water. Start with a test area using more water with the bleach in case of sensitivity.

Poison Ivy has a naturally secreted oil called Urushiol by the Japanese. It can be spread but the weeping reaction of your skin is NOT contagious. However, the oil secreted by poison ivy is insideous and pervasive. You must vigorously wash your self and your clothing to remove its traces. The amount of Urushiol oil on the head of a pin can cause thousands of blisters and it can lay dormant in dead poison ivy plant systems for years.

Prevention from assumed exposures is to frequently rinse exposed skin and change clothing often, also considering ivy blocker products.

Yes, my physician just prescribed Fluocinonide .05% cream for a poison ivy outbreak on my arms. You are not supposed to use it more than 2 times a day and it can not be used on your face or genitals.

If you suspect you have come in contact with poison ivy and are experiencing a rash, you should wash the affected area with soap and water to remove any remaining urushiol oil. Apply over-the-counter calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream to help relieve itching and inflammation. If the rash is severe or doesn't improve, consult a healthcare provider, especially considering your medication, as Lamictal can interact with some treatments for skin conditions.

When poison ivy comes into contact with your skin, it releases an oil called urushiol that can cause an itchy rash. The rash typically appears as red, swollen, and blistered skin. It's important to wash the affected area immediately and seek medical attention if the rash is severe.

The oil in poison ivy that causes the allergic reaction is called urushiol. It is found in the sap of poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac plants. Contact with urushiol can lead to a red, itchy rash known as contact dermatitis.

If a person allergic to poison ivy takes Rhus tox (which is made from poison ivy), they may experience worsening symptoms of the allergy, such as itching, rash, or blistering. It is important for individuals with allergies to poison ivy to avoid products made from poison ivy, like Rhus tox, to prevent adverse reactions.

Mupirocin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. It is not effective against viral, fungal or other types of infections. Poison Oak, as well as poison ivy and sumac cause a skin rash called allergic contact dermititis. Mupricocin would not be effective against it. Calamine lotion is often used for this type of reaction, and your doctor may prescribe an appropriate medicine that is effective.

Gregory wants to kill Ivy because he is a fallen angel who is envious of her purity and the love she shares with Tristan. He sees her as a threat to his own ambitions and seeks to eliminate her to prevent her from coming between him and Tristan.

Actually NO it is not contagious from person to person. You MUST come into contact with the plant to get the rash. It is a myth that you CAN catch it from another person! True, you can't get the rash from someone's rash or blisters. However, if a person or pet has recently touched the plant and still has the plant's oils on their skin or fur they can transfer it to you.

Like many other plants, poison oak will die when it runs out of nutrients, encounters other unfavorable growth conditions, or is treated with a herbicide that is meant to intentionally kill the plant.

yes deer can eat posion ivy. Actually, if you want to poison deer and keep your garden green and not stripped clean of new growth, fruit, and the mellons you have planted. do this;

buy some deer corn and grind it into "cracked corn" then add some ground up CASTOR BEANS to the feed. Castor Beans Retcin are poisonious--even the leaves are toxic. Depending on the size of the animal, it may take a week before you start seeing stumbling and slow moving deer. the larger the animal, the more it takes----they keep on eating the stuff tho--deer are not the brightest animals in the forrest. Smaller deer, fawns and up to six months will usually drop by the roadside within days. Keep your fruit away from the toxic castor plants and you will have a protected garden!!

To stop Poison Ivy in Batman: Arkham Asylum, you need to use the Ultra Batclaw gadget on the plants and vines she controls to destroy them. You should also attack her using your Batarangs and throw explosive gel to deal damage. By using a combination of these tactics, you can defeat Poison Ivy and prevent her from taking over the island.

Poison Ivy is an opportunistic invasive woody perennial species whose vines always survive the winter and produces leaves that emerge in early spring that persist throughout the growing season till first killing frost, at which time the leaves drop off the vines. ALL remaining vines and fallen leaves each both retain their poisonous characteristic urushiol, always can still give you a nasty rash. The plant lives in either one of two ways. As a vine in forest it scales climbing up tree trunks, sides of building and walls, or on the ground the trailing vines may stretch outwards reaching a 1/4 mile in length. The mature plants, those that are either 2 or more years old, or grow 3 feet or taller most often produce abundant fragrant and prolific yellowish to creamy off white looking flowers that next mature into seeds that most all wildlife love to eat. It is the wildlife, i.e.,birds, chipmunks, wind and rain and flooding that help next to spread the seeds about, makes this noxious plant ubiquitous! BTW cashew nuts, pistachio nuts and mangoes all botanically exist in same family as poison ivy/oak. Who knew?

I just looked this one up! The Rhyme is, "Leaflets three, let it be!"

It is not recommended to exercise in areas with poison oak as contact with the plant's oils can lead to a rash. It is best to avoid areas with poison oak or wear protective clothing to prevent exposure.

From personal experience pure bleach on a cotton ball rubbed onto the affected area works better than anything I have ever tried. The itch goes away almost immediately and the healing time is cut in half at least. Every time it begins to itch again, rub some more on. It will only burn if the skin has been irritated by scratching and even this feels better than the miserable, constant itch. This method keeps the itch away for several hours. This also works on insect bites that itch such as chiggers & bee stings.

From WebMD: The rash usually appears 8 to 48 hours after your contact. But it can occur from 5 hours to 15 days after touching the plant. The rash usually takes more than a week to show up the first time you get it on your skin. But the rash develops much more quickly (within 1 to 2 days) after later contacts. The rash will continue to develop in new areas over several days but only on the parts of your skin that had contact with it or those parts where it was spread by touching.
