WEATHER CALENDARS ADVENTURES TRAVELS ... Wild Flowers and Plants of NC Revenge of the Botanicals Close Encounters with Poison Ivy and Nettles NCNATURAL ABOUT US CONTACT POISON IVY The biggest plant pest that you are likely to encounter is the ubiquitous Poison Ivy, Rhus radicans and it's close relative, Poison Oak. It grows just about everywhere and so far, it looks like this summer is going to produce an especially excellent crop. P.I. is extremely variable in its forms, growing as a vine, a ground cover, or upright. Old vines get very hairy looking. The old addage is "Leaves of three, leave it be", and refers to the 3 glossy or dull green leaflets, 2 to 4 inches long. The leaves are somewhat variable in shape. Poison Oak has more irregular leaves. It produces whitish flowers from August to November that dry and remain for a long time. In the fall, the leaves take on bright colors yellow and then turning red. An oil that the plant produces is responsible for varying degrees of irritation from skin inflammation to blistering. You don't even have to touch it. You can get it from smoke if it is being burned. It is said that even 100 year old leaves can cause irritation. Peoples' bodies respond differently to exposure to Poison Ivy. You may get into it once and not experience any effects, only to be lulled by that false sense of security, get into it later and become such a blistered and scarred, itchy, freak that you won't want to leave the house. Sometimes people who have been seemingly immune to the exposure will have a bout that will make up for all of the times when they were in it before and didn't get it.

44. Herbal Remedies For Poison Ivy, Poison Sumac, Poison Oak Cures, Sunburn Treatmen Skin ointment from wildcrafted herbs as an all natural treatment for poison ivy, sunburn, and rashes. http://www.woundedwarriorointment.com/

Why Wounded Warrior Works Better Than Anything Else on The Market: Wounded Warrior is made from wildcrafted or organically grown herbs that are processed - while still fresh - in pharmaceutical grade alcohol (derived from corn). The extraction process for each herb follows the standards of the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the US. These extracts are then blended into Aloe Vera Gel. I supplied herbs from the North Carolina mountains to pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and natural product companies around the world. Realizing the need for an all natural, but standardized topical ointment (heal-all), I experimented for several years with combinations of herbs that eventually became Wounded Warrior. For years this product was shared with friends and neighbors. Eventually the company, Wounded Warrior, was established to market the ointment. Since then thousands of people have used Wounded Warrior, and many have called us to share their amazing experiences. I appreciate so much the personal way folks have taken Wounded Warrior into the lives of their families. I feel good about the fact that Wounded Warrior will take care of so many skin problems; This eliminates the need to purchase several products to handle them all. It truly is "A Medicine Chest in a Bottle".

Of course, plants cannot "attack" a person, but some plants can cause harm if they are touched.

48. Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron Radicans) of the plant, the skin reaction it causes, uses, control, and photos....... http://www.cloudnet.com/~djeans/FlwPlant/poisonIvy.htm

Home Flowering Plants Poison Ivy Toxicodendron radicans (Rhus radicans) Cashew or Sumac Family: Anacardiaceae A highly variable perennial woody vine or shrub, native to North America and Asia and introduced in Great Britain, Europe, and Australia. There is considerable disagreement over whether poison ivy is one species with variations, or many separate species. It is also sometimes said that the poison oaks ( Toxicodendron diversilobum and Toxicodendron quercifolium ) are merely variations of the same species. The photos on this page depict the common form in my locale (a trailing vine), but the text is more general. Poison ivy prefers rich soil with good drainage and plenty of water. It is particularly common around lakes, swamps, and rivers. It will grow perfectly well, however, in a wide variety of other habitats. It's common along roadsides and trails, in areas of waste ground, in thickets, in open woods, and in old fields. It seems to do best in my area (Minnesota) in places that are just slightly shaded. New poison ivy shoots sprout from existing roots, from rhizomes (underground stems), from climbing vines, and of course, from seed.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Skin conditions Poison ivy Originally Published: September 30, 1994 / Updated on: June 28, 2002 Alice, This question is about poison ivy. Is it contagious? Does it spread to other parts of the afflicted person's body? Can someone else get it from touching them? My husband broke out with poison ivy last week and has been covering himself with Calamine on doctor's orders. The cream is not doing much, and the Dr. did not give us much info about poison ivy. Can you enlighten us further? Thanks. Ivy Dear Ivy, Poison ivy is an allergy to a plant leaf resin or oil. Eighty percent of people are very allergic and will show symptoms of an itchy, blistery rash up to 48 hours after contact with the plant. Poison ivy is contagious only by spreading the actual plant oil/resin; the rash itself is not contagious and does not spread. Scratching the rash during the first few days could spread the oil to other parts of the infected person's body, or to another person who might be allergic. A few good showers and a laundry should eliminate the residue of the plant oil. The problem with poison ivy is that there is no specific treatment; the infected person really just has to wait it out. Calamine lotion offers some symptomatic relief, as well as pouring cool water over the infected areas, putting an oatmeal paste on the infections, or making a baking soda and water solution to soothe the itching. If the itching and infection are persistent, and more than annoying, your husband needs to see a health care provider, because there are a few people who are so highly allergic that medication is necessary. In the meantime, keep him from scratching!!!

Home Pharmacy Locator Buy Online Product Info ... Testimonials Available at CVS, Rite Aid, Eckerd, Walgreen, and WAL-MART Pharmacies. Poison Ivy Wash is a safe and effective topical solution for poison ivy, oak, and sumac. It is the only product known to remove urushiol, the toxin responsible for the reaction, from the skin after bonding, enabling the affected area to immediately begin healing. After using Zanfel, itching and pain are the first things to be relieved, usually within 30 seconds. Unlike Zanfel, other products temporarily reduce itching but do nothing to remove urushiol. Zanfel removes urushiol by binding with it to create an aggregated cluster, which can quickly and effectively be washed away with water. Zanfel can be used at any time after exposure. Zanfel can be applied on any external body area, including the face and genitals, and is safe for use by children and pregnant or nursing women. In the case of systemic, or blood-based reactions, prescription steroids are usually required. If you suspect a systemic reaction, see your doctor immediately. Zanfel can be used in conjunction with steroid treatments. Home Site Map Feedback For Questions, Call 1-800-401-4002

51. Poison Ivy Dermatitis American Osteopathic College of Dermatology skin disease database Leaves ofthree let it be! http://www.aocd.org/skin/dermatologic_diseases/poison_ivy_dermati.html

[ click a disease picture to see larger view ] Poison Ivy Dermatitis "Leaves of three - let it be!" aptly describes this woody vine with 2-4" leaflets in groups of three. The center leaf has a longer stem than the other two. Poison ivy clings to tree trunks and other vertical surfaces with hair-like aerial rootlets that grow out of the stem. If a climbing surface isn't available, poison ivy will grow as a free standing shrub. The leaves of poison ivy turn shades of red and purple in fall. Poison ivy is caused by an allergic reaction ( allergic contact dermatitis ) to the oily coating that covers of these plants. The resinous coating is called "urushiol". These are called Rhus plants after the old scientific name (it was changed to toxidendron). A person doesn't have to come in direct contact with the leaves, roots, or branches of Rhus plants to get the rash. One can get it from contaminated clothing. Even in winter the leafless stems and vines can cause the familiar skin rash. No one is born with sensitivity to Poison ivy, but if exposed enough most people become sensitized at some time and remain allergic. A sensitivity can change at any time. There's no way to desensitize people allergic to Rhus plants. Dogs and other animals are not affected by poison ivy, but people can get the rash by petting a dog that's been exposed. The rash itself is not contagious, and the fluid in the blisters does not spread the rash. Poison ivy dermatitis appears as soon as four hours or as long as 10 days after the exposure, depending on individual sensitivity and the amount exposure. As the rash appears, any sensitivity a person had begins to increase. One starts to react to the slightest traces of a few molecules on the skin. This causes the rash to appear to be spreading, even after treatment has begun.

document.writeln(''); MedicineNet Home Skin Home Page > Poison Ivy Search Tips Printer-Friendly Format FREE Newsletters Email to a Friend ... What can be done if exposed? What causes the rash? Poison ivy, oak, and sumac are plants which cause an itchy skin rash when directly contacted. The rash is a true allergic response to an oil called urushiol found in the sap of these plants. This oil is a sticky, clear to slightly yellow, and odorless substance which turns dark on exposure to air. Urushiol oils from different plants vary slightly chemically from each other and occasionally individuals can be allergic to one and not the other. The urushiol oil is expelled by an injured plant and can be carried on the surface of objects, clothing, or animals that have come in contact with the toxic sap. These plants can also produce a toxic vapor when burned which can injure the lungs and windpipe (trachea) if inhaled. Plant Identification Poison ivy, oak and sumac plants producing urushiol belong to the biological family known as the

Tutorial Index NEW: Gruesome infection pictures. There are a number of people who have no clue what poison ivy looks like. "Leaves of three leave it be." seems to be the rule of thumb, but even so, some people wouldn't be able to tell it from jewelweed (the plant whose juices cure poison ivy). There used to be poison ivy growing up the front wall of a building where I worked. It was very healthy poison ivy, and when I was running mail courier, I always managed to step around it as it overhang part of the sidewalk. One day, I was delivering the mail and I saw two of the grounds workers clearing out the vines. Both in short sleeves, the one was ripping it out with his bare hands, and passing it into the arms of the other who was carting it over to a big pile to be relocated. "You know that's poison ivy," I said, concerned. "No, it's not." "Yes it is. If you are allergic, go home and take a cold shower and soap yourself off. Don't use hot water, as that will open your pores and help the oils soak in. You'll probably still break out, but it wont be as bad." They argued and I went on to deliver the mail. When I came back, they were gone, and they had left the pile of debris, and the rest of the growing poison ivy. I imagine they both were covered, neck, arms, and face. Heaven help them if they went to the bathroom without washing their hands first.
