Poison Ivy Spray
Poison Ivy spray in an herbicide is an effective way to get rid of poison ivy and is available at most garden centers or can be ordered online.
The sap of poison ivy contains an oily resin called urushiol that causes an irritating inflammation of the skin in most people. All parts of the plant, including the roots, contain this poisonous resin. Most people develop symptoms 24 to 48 hours after contact. The extent of a reaction depends on the individual’s sensitivity and the amount of urushiol that comes in contact with the skin. There are many poison ivy remedies readily available on online or in stores, in creams or in a poison ivy spray. Poison ivy sprays typically contain analgesics and antihistamines or alcohol for temporary itch control. They are generally only marginally effective and inexpensive.
The oily urushiol resin can be found in all parts of poison ivy causing an irritating inflammation of the skin, called Rhus-dermatitis or poison-ivy dermatitis. The inflamed areas frequently develop blisters which are accompanied by intense itchiness. It only takes a very small amount of urushiol to cause a reaction. The rash spreads by exposure to the sap and not from the sores themselves. Therefore, an individual must actually come into contact with the urushiol resin before developing an allergic reaction. Not everyone reacts the same way to poison ivy exposure/contact. Nor will they respond to poison ivy sprays and treatment the same either.
If you have a very good immune system you will have a stronger reaction and outbreak than someone with a compromised immune system. If your outbreak is severe you will want to have a stronger remedy as you won’t be happy with a weak remedy that doesn’t produce the results you want. So the warning is not all sprays are equal.
