About "Poison ivy"

Poison ivy is a plant that causes contact dermatitis. Damaged leaves of the plant release an oil called urushiol, which is poisonous for humans. The oil is present in the dead leaves, stems, and roots, which, when absorbed, can trigger the body’s immune system and produce rashes. Rashes from poison oak occur in the area of contact with urushiol. The rash develops after mild irritation and itching. The rashes then form blisters, and the skin becomes red and inflamed. The rash usually heals within 3 to 4 weeks. Sometimes, the allergic reaction can be severe, resulting in swelling of eyes, tongue and lips, infection of the skin, and swollen lymph nodes. As soon as you come in contact with poison ivy, wash the area with warm water and soap.
