Ivy, Poison POISON! Botanical: Rhus Toxicodendron (LINN.) Family: N.O. Anacardiaceae Descripton Part Used Medicinally Constituents Medicinal Action and Uses -Synonyms- Poison Oak. Poison Vine. -Part Used- Leaves. -Habitat- The American Poison Ivy is one of the species of Sumachs, an attractive group of plants widely distributed in Europe, Asia and North America, varying much in habit from low bushes to moderately-sized trees, and many of them familiar denizens of our gardens, for the sake of their ornamental foliage, which mostly assume beautiful tints in autumn, some of the varieties also bearing showy fruits. It grows in thickets and low grounds in North America, where it is quite common. Its sap is of an extremely poisonous character, and in many persons the slightest contact with the leaves causes a rash of a most distressing character, the hands and arms and sometimes the whole body becoming greatly swollen from simply touching or carrying a branch of the plant, the swelling being accompanied with intolerable pain and inflammation, ending in ulceration. Some persons however, are able to handle the plant with impunity. It has been sometimes known as Ampelopsis Hoggii , and under this name has occasionally been introduced with other climbers, but it has nothing to do with the group of Vines known under the name of Ampelopsis , and its presence in our gardens should be avoided.

5. POISON IVY: How To Identify And Control Information from the Missouri Department of Conservation on poison ivy. http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/nathis/plantpage/flora/poivy/

@import url("/css/core_style.css"); POISON IVY: How to Identify and Control An irritating plant... POISON IVY is a woody shrub or vine with hairy looking aerial roots. It grows to 10 feet or more, climbing high on trees, walls and fences or trails along the ground. All parts of poison ivy, including the roots, are poisonous at all times of the year. The toxin in poison ivy is an oil which causes an irritating skin reaction on many people. The reaction, an itchy rash with clear blisters, is variable in severity among people, and can vary from year to year on the same individual. The poison ivy reaction can be reduced if you change clothing immediately and wash the exposed skin with soap and water. if you can wash all the oil off exposed skin within 5 minutes of contact, no reaction will occur. Even water from a running stream is an effective cleanser. The oil from poison ivy can remain active on clothing and footwear as long as a year so be careful not to expose yourself to the oil again. The oil can also be transmitted on pet fur and in the smoke of burning poison ivy. YOU CAN USE various products such as MultiShield applied prior to anticipated exposure or Tecnu Skin Cleanser to cleanse exposed skin. However, the best way to avoid the irritating rash is being able to identify poison ivy.

Poison Ivy - The All-American Plant by M. K. Sejbl Leaves of three, let them be; Berries white, run in fright Folk Rhyme "Wow,” joked Woody, “Since I'm a moose, I think I'll have a poison ivy salad for lunch!” What to look for... Poison Oak has two distinct species. Both types have fuzzy-looking leaves in clusters of three. The leaves look a little like the leaves of the oak tree. Eastern poison oak grows from New Jersey to Florida and as far west as Texas and Kansas. Western poison oak grows along the Pacific coast from Washington state to Mexico. There are two closely related species of Poison Ivy. It grows almost everywhere in the United States except Nevada and parts of California. Poison ivy may look like a vine climbing up a tree, a bushy shrub or even a small tree. Poison ivy's leaves generally grow in bunches of three and, in the last summer and fall, there may also be tiny white berries growing in bunches from the stems. Poison ivy rarely grows at altitudes higher than 5,000 feet. Poison Sumac's three- to four-inch-long leaves grow in clusters of seven to 13 leaves. The leaves are orange in spring, green in summer, and red, orange, or yellow in fall. The plants can grow as tall as 15 feet high. Poison Sumac grows in bogs, swamps and wet bottom land east of the Mississippi River. Poison sumac plants usually have red stems, may have long clusters of whitish berries in the summer and fall.

7. Go Ask Alice!: Poison Ivy, Oak, And Sumac Advice on symptoms and treatment, including when to seek emergency medical care. From Columbia University Health Education Program. http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/1354.html

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Skin conditions Poison ivy, oak, and sumac Originally Published: September 04, 1998 / Updated on: December 20, 2002 Dear Alice, What are the symptoms of poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac? Are they treatable with over-the-counter medications OR is a doctor visit required? Dear Reader, Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, and Poison Sumac are caused by an allergic reaction to an oily substance produced by these plants called urushiol. Over 50 percent of people are allergic to it, experiencing an itchy, blistery rash within a day or two of coming into contact with these fragile, defensive plants. Poison Ivy is most common in the eastern United States, while Poison Oak is usually found west of the Rockies. Poison Sumac is quite abundant along the Mississippi River. Keep in mind, however, that there is cross over. If you have the unfortunate luck of brushing elbows (or knees, fingers, legs, or any other body part) with one of the members of this troublesome threesome, look out for the tell-tale rash and incessant itching. You may get redness, slight swelling, or blisters, as well. Remember that you can also absorb the sap/oil from clothing or pets who have brushed against the plants, or may have a reaction if you've inhaled the smoke from burning Poison Ivy, Oak, or Sumac. Some people also swear by over-the-counter homeopathic remedies. One of the most popular in this case is rhus tox, which is made from poison oak itself, encapsulating completely the homeopathic philosophy that "like cures like." Similar to all homeopathic remedies, the claims of which are not substantiated by research, take caution and keep your health care provider informed of what you are taking.

What are the symptoms of Poisoning? The first symptom of poisoning is a severe itching of the skin. Later, a red inflammation and a blistering of the skin occurs. In severe cases, oozing sores develop. The rash spreads by the poisonous sap (urushiol), not as the result of contamination from sores. The blood vessels develop gaps that leak fluid through the skin, causing blisters and oozing. When you cool the skin, the vessels constrict and don't leak as much according to Robert Rietschel, M.D. Chairman of Dermatolgy at New Orleans' Ochsner Clinic. symptoms Viewer Rashes rash pictures more rash pictures ... more rash pictures Note: The zanfel site now has an excellent series of rash pictures.
