I’ve Gotta Fear Of Poison Ivy? Help!?
Poison Ivy Problem
I have a huge fear of poison ivy. I’m very sensitive to it so going near, touching, or even smelling or going in the smoke it makes when it’s burned makes me get it. I am scared of it because every time I’ve get it each year it gets worse. Last year I had to take like 8 pills 4 times a day. It was hard because the pills make me feel sick and they aren’t good for me. The doctor said next time I get it I’m going to be put into the hospital. I really don’t want that. But when I went to the allergist he said after 3 HOURS of testing to stay away from it. Duh? I think I knew that. Please help any fast cures? Or prevention methods?
People usually burn the poison ivy to get rid of it cheaply, and easily.
Prevent Poison Ivy
The most important thing is prevention. Make sure you know how to identify Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, or Sumac. If you have any of these plants in your yard make sure you get rid of them, this is especially important if you have pets that go outdoors because they can it can stick to their fur and you end up touching their fur, so if your pet comes in contact with Poison Ivy give it a bath with gloves. If you go camping be sure to wear long pants and shirts to protect your skin and always try to walk on clear pathways. Always wash your clothes or anything that might have come in contact with Poison Ivy, so it doesn’t spread. If you do come in contact with it then you need to wash the affected area with warm water and soap and it might actually stop or slow a reaction or you can use a cream with Bentoquatam to help block Poison Ivy.

About The Poison Ivy Rash
What Causes Poison Ivy Rash/
Poison ivy causes a Poison Ivy Rash which is a common cause of urushiol induced contact dermatitis. It is an allergic reaction, when the urushiol oil from the poison ivy plant comes in contact with the skin. The Poison Ivy Rash is very unpleasant, however it does not pose any serious health risks that are known. Preventing the Poison Ivy Rash is the best thing you can do when dealing with poison ivy.
Symptoms of the Poison Ivy Rash include intense itching, inflammation, oozing and in severe cases it produces blisters and it has a burning sensation. Spreading blister fluid from scratching doesn’t spread the rash, but germs under your fingernails may cause a secondary infection.
The poison ivy plant produces a resin called urushiol. Urushiol is an oil that seeps from the leaves of the plant and does not vaporate; leaving the plant active year round. Urushiol is a yellow liquid and is nearly insoluble in water.
Poison Ivy Rash appearance
The Poison Ivy Rash has a linear appearance when it is at it’s peak because of the way the plant leaves brush up against your skin. If you become somehow in contact with clothing or any type pet fur that already has urushiol on it, the rash will probably be more evenly distributed and spread out.
The Poison Ivy Rash reaction usually becomes apparent and develops into a Poison Ivy Rash in 12 to 48 hours after you’ve been in contact with the urushiol oil and the Poison Ivy Rash can last up to three weeks in some cases. In more severe cases, your Poison Ivy Rash can streak and form breakouts in other areas.
This often leads people to think that the Poison Ivy Rash is spreading or that it is contagious; however its more likely to act this way due to the rate at which your skin absorbed the urushiol. Remember that different parts of your body absorb differently.
See the absorption rates of the different skin types.
• Forearm absorbs 1%
• Armpit absorbs 4%
• Face absorbs 7%
• Eyelids and genitals absorb 30%
• Palm absorbs 0.1%
