Poison Ivy Spotting and Care Warning
Public health note explains how to recognize poison ivy and related plants. It details three shiny leaflets, habitats, and seasonal colors, and warns of intense skin irritation from the sap. Advice include washing affected skin with soap and hot water or using alcohol or gasoline if water is unavailable. Seek physician for severe cases.
Recognition key to avoiding poison ivy exposure
The guidance notes that bathing after exposure is less effective than a tub bath, as plant oil may cling to the water surface and leave infected material. A baking soda solution can ease itching, but the best precaution is learning to recognize and avoid poison ivy.
