Valued Advertisers Helping a Breastfeeding Mother with Poison Ivy Dermatitis Sue lwinski, AAPL From: LEAVEN, Vol. 37 No. 2, April-May 2001, p. 29-31 When I had my first helping call from a mother with a poison ivy rash on her breasts, I thought it was a rare occurrence. After several calls regarding other mothers in the same difficult situation, and hearing from several Leaders with personal experiences, I wondered if this was more common than one would ever suspect. Poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac are the single most common causes of allergic reactions in the United States. Unfortunately, breastfeeding mothers are not immune to them. Each year 10 to 50 million Americans develop an allergic rash after contact with these plants formerly considered part of the rhus genus , more recently classified in the toxicodendron genus . Part of the cashew or sumac family ( Anacadiacae ), these plants are widely distributed in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. They grow almost everywhere in the United States except Hawaii, Alaska, and some desert areas in Nevada. Although approximately 85 percent of the population will develop an allergic reaction if exposed, most people need one or more previous exposures to become sensitized. Poison ivy rash is an allergic contact rash, or dermatitis, caused by contact with an oil in the sap of the plants called urushiol. Urushiol is such a potent antigen, it is estimated that 500 people could itch from the amount covering the head of a pin and one-quarter ounce would be enough to cause a reaction in every person on earth.

     Extractions: Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index P poison ivy Search poison ivy vesicles All parts of the plant contain the sap, and the allergen (urushiol) is present on live or dead leaves, which means you must use caution cleaning out old plant material in the fall and winter. Watch out - burning this material can produce smoke with the oil in it, which can cause extensive eruptions. The eruption may appear as quickly as 8 hours after contact or may be delayed for a week or more. That is why poison ivy appears to spread - the areas exposed most intensely erupt first, and the areas just barely touched break out later. Use cold wet compresses during the acute blistering stage. They are highly effective and should be used for 15 to 30 minutes several times a day for 1 to 3 days until blistering and severe itching is controlled. Topical steroids do not penetrate through blisters. Short, cool tub baths Poison ivy and poison oak are of course neither ivy nor oak species. Sensitization to one plant in the Rhus family produces cross-reactions with the other plants in the family - notably poison sumac and poison oak.

     Extractions: Lisa A. Garner, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 27 - NO. 5 - MAY 99 In Brief: Allergic contact dermatitis from poison ivy, oak, or sumac is common among people who work or exercise outdoors. The plants, classified in the genus Rhus or Toxicodendron, contain allergens that can cause reactions ranging from mild pruritus to severe urticaria or generalized maculopapular eruptions. Initial management includes cleansing, cold compresses, and, possibly, oral antihistamines for symptomatic relief. Topical corticosteroids are given for localized nonfacial eruptions; systemic corticosteroids are used for severe eruptions. Prevention involves avoiding contact with the plants and washing exposed skin within 2 hours. A llergic contact dermatitis from poison ivy, oak, and sumac is a very common disorder. In the United States, in fact, poison ivy and poison oak are the most common causes of contact dermatitis (1). The condition is a particular hazard for people who work outdoors or enjoy outdoor recreational activities such as hiking and camping. Following is a description of the plants and their characteristics and distribution, typical clinical manifestations of the allergic reaction, and guidance for treating, minimizing, and preventing eruptions.

     Extractions: Subscribe now >> Allergic reactions to three native American plants poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac, all members of the plant genus Toxicodendron have been sources of misery for many centuries. Native Americans warned the early settlers about the ill effects of these plants, and Captain John Smith described them in his journal, thus making the first report of an allergic disease in America. According to experts at the American Academy of Dermatology, approximately 85 percent of the population will develop an allergic reaction to poison ivy, oak, or sumac if exposed to them. What is an allergic reaction? In general, an allergic reaction is a sensitivity or overreaction by the body to a substance that does not cause a problem in most people. The substances, known as allergens, include mold spore, dust, food, or pollen. The reaction may take many forms; for example, the sneezing and runny nose of hay fever (pollen allergy) or the itching and skin rash of hives. When these allergic reactions develop within minutes of exposure to an allergen, they are called immediate hypersensitivity reactions. What are poison ivy and related allergies?

     Extractions: ANACADIACEAE Poison Ivy is a terrible plant, no doubt about it. It makes our lives just intolerable. The itch, rash, blisters, it is our immune system reacting to the oil of the plant, urushiol (yoo-ROO-she-ol). There is nothing inherently toxic about poison ivy, or its very close relatives poison oak and poison sumac. Birds eat the berries of the poison ivy. Wildlife and livestock can easily eat the leaves of the plant. It is the human race that cannot tolerate its oil. Once in contact with the skin, urushiol will get into the sublayers of our skin and our misery begins. Statistics show that only 85% of the population will react to as little as two micrograms of urushiol. This measurement is about a millionth of a tablespoon. Not very much to cause such a pain. If you think you are immune to poison ivy, remember that immunity to urushiol will lessen with age. As a child, I was never effected by poison ivy, yet as an adult I suffer terribly.

     Extractions: Featuring Tecnu Products for the relief of Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, Poison Sumac POISON OAK AND IVY FACTS Poison Oak (Rhus diversiloba), poison ivy (Rhus tocicodendron L.) and poison sumac (Rhus toxicondendron V.) emit the poisonous, oily irritant urushiol (pronounced oo-roo-she-all) on the plant's stem, roots, branches, and leaves. The urushiol chemically "locks on" to skin proteins within 20 minutes after exposure to the plants (including dormant plants or long-dead prunings), contaminated clothes or tools, or even contaminated pets. Contact with this annoying oil produces a rash in three out of four people. The rash can begin within a few hours after contact, or it can start three to five days later. The rash starts with itchiness and swelling, followed by a reddish inflammation of tiny pimples. Blisters then form and couple in a chain-like reaction. A clear fluid oozes from the blisters. This fluid then hardens to a yellowish crust. Left untreated, the rash (a typical histamine response) will last three to five weeks. Poison Oak, ivy, sumac and other members by the Rhus family grow in all portions of the North American continent (except Nevada, Alaska, and Hawaii) at elevations below 4,000 feet with a rainfall above 8 inches per year. These plants are a significant cause of workers' compensation claims in the United States. They are also the source of considerable distress to outdoor recreationists and hobbyists.

     Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Taking a hike through the woods typically isn't dangerous, but it could leave you itching if you are not careful. The old saying, "leaves of three, let them be," still applies as a reminder to steer clear of poison ivy, said Thomas Ray, M.D., professor in the UI Department of Dermatology. Poison ivy is common throughout the United States, particularly around lakes and streams, as well as backyards and pastures in the Midwest and the East. Its ability to grow in a variety of places makes our susceptibility to it even greater. "Of all the possible allergens, poison ivy is the most common one to worry about," Ray said. Poison ivy is coated with a resin-like sap, which contains a chemical called urushiol. Every part of the plant contains the resin: leaves, stems and roots. Most people only come in contact with the leaves, but it is important to remember the entire plant can produce an allergic reaction, Ray said. Urushiol produces symptoms in three out of four people. Often the symptoms begin as a severe itching of the skin. Redness, burning, swelling and blistering follow the itching. Severity of the symptoms depends on each individual's sensitivity and reaction to the allergen.

     Extractions: Poison ivy was one of the earliest plants noted by the first colonists to reach what would become the United States. Captain John Smith is credited with bestowing the common name because he thought the plant resembled English ivy or Boston ivy. He also observed that the plant "caused itchynge, and lastly, blisters." At least ten species and subspecies, ranging from eastern Asia to Guatemala, bear the common name "poison ivy." Our local representative is known as Toxicodendron rydbergii. The generic epithet comes from the Greek Toxikos (poisonous) and dendron (tree), while the species name honors Per Axel Rydberg (1860-1930), a Swedish-born botanist how wrote two important books on the flora of Colorado and the Rocky mountains. This small, woody shrub lacks the climbing, vine-like structure of its better-known eastern relative, T. radicans. The western variety is typically less than three feet tall, although unde r favorable site conditions, where plants have remained relatively undisturbed for several decades, individuals sometimes reach heights of 10 feet or more. Stems are simple or sparsely branched and grow from much branched rhizomes. Long-stalked leaves are borne alternately near the summit of the stem and, like the eastern variety, are divided into three coarse-toothed leaflets, giving rise to the well-known aphorism "leaves of three don't bother me." In fall, the leaves turn brilliant red.

     Extractions: While I've never had a reaction to Poison Ivy despite unintentional contacts over the years, I avoid it whenever possible since apparent "immunity" can be lost through repeated contact. Since several friends over the years have had severe reactions (lasting weeks and even months) from an apparent first-contact, I try point it out to others whenever I see it in yards, parks, or in the woods. Poison Ivy even grows here and there throughout the OU campus, (without permission of the OU Landscape Department) usually adjacent to individual trees, or in peripheral areas such as Brandt Park and other wooded locations. The following information is from my own experience and from articles I've read over the years. -Richard Hamilton, OUPD Webmaster

     Extractions: Poison ivy itches only people, Octopuses need three hearts Q: Why does poison ivy itch? —Debbie and Steve, Pennsylvania Q: Of what value is the blistering agent in poison ivy to the plant's survival? In the wild, deer and other herbivores don't get itchy blisters from touching poison ivy, do they? Even if they did, no animal would be smart enough to connect the itching with a certain plant. SO how and why did this plant evolve the itchy defense mechanism? —Glenn J. [Conservation Commission of Missouri] Poison ivy: beware of three leaves A: Poison ivy itches because your confused immune system thinks your body is under attack. Consequently, killer T-cells in your blood stream release enzymes and toxins that lay waste to the surrounds. Fluid oozes from blood and lymphatic vessels, flows over skin, and kills cells—both good guys and those chemically bound to the sap’s active ingredient, urushiol. Your deadly T-cell liquid damages nerve cells and that makes you itch. It’s a case of false alarm. Poison-ivy sap and its urushiol are basically harmless to everything but us. Deer, goats, horses, cattle, and many birds eat the foliage and fruits of the poison ivy plant. Flea beetles and armyworms chew their leaves, unaffected, says John Meyers of North Carolina State University. These parts are loaded with sap. Humans, though, are a different story. Eighty to 90 % of adults will get an allergic rash. All it takes is 50 micrograms (less than a grain of salt) of urushiol and at least a two-time exposure.

     Extractions: Kids with rhus dermatitis, caused by exposure to poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac, can be miserable. Even with treatment, they can expect several days or weeks, of itching. And since most people are sensitive to, and have a reaction when exposed to poison ivy and these other plants, avoiding them is important. But to avoid them, unless you plan on never going outside, you have to learn what they looks like. To avoid these plants, in addition to the basic 'leaves of three, let it be', you should look for these characteristics of poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac:
