Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Note: This page is not an advertisement for any particular product and all opinions contained here are solely those of the individual contributor. 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.

The result is typically an itching, red rash with bumps or blisters. Considerations Return to top Poison ivy is one of the most frequent causes of skin rash among children and adults who spend time outdoors. The plant can be found throughout the United States, except in the Southwest, Alaska, and Hawaii. It has three shiny green leaves and a red stem. Poison ivy typically grows in the form of a vine, often along riverbanks. Poison oak is primarily found on the West Coast. It grows in the form of a shrub and has three leaves similar to poison ivy. Poison sumac grows abundantly along the Mississippi River. It grows as a woody shrub. Each stem contains 7-13 leaves arranged in pairs. Causes Return to top The rash is caused by skin contact with the oily sap (or resin) of these plants. Smoke from burning these plants can cause the same reaction. The oily resin usually enters the skin rapidly, and is seldom transferred from person to person. The rash is NOT caused by the fluid from the blisters. Thus, once the person has washed the oil off the skin, the rash is usually not contagious.

Poison ivy is present in every province except Newfoundland, and occurs on sandy, stony, or rocky shores of streams, rivers, and lakes; it sprouts in thickets, along the borders of woods, and in wood openings. Although it is common throughout Canada, it reaches its greatest abundance in southern Ontario and southern Quebec. This glossy plant is a perennial that spreads by seeds and woody rhizomes. It is a trailing vine, a subshrub to shrub 5-120 cm high, or an aerial-rooted vine that climbs rough surfaces to 15 m. Its leaves are alternate and consist of three leaflets; the middle one has a stalk much longer than those of the two lateral leaflets. The edges of the leaflets may be smooth or toothed, but they are rarely lobed. The leaves vary greatly in size, from 8 to 55 mm long. They are reddish when they first emerge in the spring, are green during the summer, and are various shades of yellow, orange, red, or bronze in the autumn. Male and female flowers, normally found on separate plants, are clustered, small, and cream to yellow green in color. The green to yellow fruits are clustered, globose, and waxy. They are 3-7 mm in diameter and 1-seeded.

64. Poison Ivy Immunology Brief technical article on allergic reactions to poison ivy, including physiology, treatment options and links to related information. http://www.bio.umass.edu/immunology/poisoniv.htm

Poison Ivy: an Exaggerated Immune Response to Nothing Much Overview Click on the links in this overview for more detailed information. The poison ivy plant and its relatives are common throughout the United States. Poison ivy leaves are coated with a mixture of chemicals called urushiol . When people get urushiol on their skin, it causes an allergic contact dermatitis . This is a T cell-mediated immune response, also called delayed hypersensitivity , in which the body's immune system recognizes as foreign, and attacks, the complex of urushiol-derivatives with skin proteins. The irony is that urushiol, in the absence of the immune attack, would be harmless. The most common treatment for severe contact dermatitis is with corticosteroids , which diminish the immune attack and resulting inflammation. A recent recommendation for mild cases is to use manganese sulfate solution to reduce the itching. Jewel weed is also recommended. Details on topics referred to in the above overview. Allergic Contact Dermatitis Allergy is an altered or unwanted immune response. The immune system attacks something which is genuinely foreign, but which would be harmless, were it not for the immune attack. The immune system has evolved to neutralize and eliminate foreign substances from our bodies. However, it cannot tell whether the foreign substance is harmful, so it sometimes attacks harmless substances vigorously, causing an inflammation which can be far more harmful than the foreign substance alone. Hay fever (allergic rhinitis or asthma to plant pollens) is a good example.

65. Poison Ivy Poison Oak Rhus Allergy pppoison ivy and poison oak rashes are caused by an allergy to the resin of theseplants, called Rhus plants. You don t have to come in direct contact with http://www.skinsite.com/info_poison_ivy_poison_oak.htm

Poison Ivy/Poison Oak Allergy (Rhus Allergy) I. Causes: Poison ivy and poison oak rashes are caused by an allergy to the resin of these plants, called Rhus plants. You don't have to come in direct contact with the leaves, roots, or branches of Rhus plants to get the rash. The plant resin can reach your skin indirectly when you touch clothing or a pet that carries the resin. Posion oak can spread through the air from the pollen. Like other allergies, Rhus allergy is acquired; you're not born with it. While some lucky people never become allergic to Rhus plants, most persons become sensitized at some time and remain allergic. Unfortunately, there's no way to desensitize persons allergic to Rhus plants. These types of Allergies are forms of allergic contact dermatitis II. Contagion: Your poison ivy or poison oak rash is not contagious. The fluid in the blisters does not spread the rash. Rhus rash doesn't appear immediately after exposure to the plant resin, but only after a time called the latent period. This latent period between exposure to the plant and appearance of the rash may be as short as four hours or as long as 10 days, depending on individual sensitivity and the amount of plant contact. Sometimes, more rash appears after treatment has begun. These new patches are areas that had a longer latent period. III.

67. Poison Ivy Poisoning from plants such as poison ivy, sumac, and oak is an allergic poison ivy and oak have three leaves on each stem and grow as a vine or bush. http://scc.uchicago.edu/poisonivy.htm

Poison Ivy, Sumac, and Oak What is poison ivy, sumac, or oak? "Poisoning" from plants such as poison ivy, sumac, and oak is an allergic reaction that results when the skin touches these plants and their oils. Most people develop a rash, blisters, and itching after contact with them. Cases usually occur in the spring and summer. Poison ivy and oak have three leaves on each stem and grow as a vine or bush. Sumac has two rows of leaves opposite each other and one leaf at the end of the stem. It grows as a bush or tree. The leaves of all three plants are shiny and coated with an oily chemical, which causes the allergic reaction. The oils are also in the stems and roots of these plants. How does it occur? The reaction occurs after touching poison ivy, sumac, or oak. A reaction can also occur after contact with anything else that may carry the plant's oils, including ashes and smoke from burning plants. It can also be spread by touching oil left on clothes or tools. The rash often appears on the face first and then on other exposed areas of the body. Typically it is first noticed 24 to 48 hours after contact. How bad the rash will be depends on the thickness of your skin and how much contact you had with the plant's oils. Sometimes there is a delayed reaction, and the rash develops on one area of your skin after the others. The rash cannot be spread by scratching itchy skin or from oozing blisters. However, scratching may lead to infection of the open sores.

Browse the Science Library Explore Stuff Lidrock.com Stuffo.com Big List of Articles Get the Newsletter ... ShortStuff What causes poison ivy? The rash that you get from poison ivy is caused by a chemical in the sap called urushiol . This chemical penetrates the outer layer of skin until it hits the dermis, and in the dermis an allergic reaction to the urushiol occurs. (See How Sun Tans and Sunburns Work for a good description of your skin and how it works.) From that definition, there are a number of things you can deduce about poison ivy: Not all people "get" poison ivy. If your body does not mount an allergic reaction, then you can swim in urushiol and it will have no effect. It turns out, however, that the majority of people's immune systems react to urushiol after several exposures. You cannot get poison ivy unless you come in contact with the sap that contains urushiol. However, it is incredibly easy to come in contact with it. You can get it from the plants itself. You can get it from touching your shoes or pants if they have rubbed against poison ivy plants. You can get it from your dog's or cat's fur if they walk through poison ivy. One of the worst cases I ever got came from my dog, who apparently walked through some at a rest stop during a trip and then fell asleep in my lap for the rest of the ride...
