Poison Ivy Rash: Prevention and Care Tips

Abstract:

Poison ivy, oak, and sumac contain urushiol oil, causing rashes, swelling, and itching. Wash skin, clothing, and tools promptly to avoid spread. Treat rashes with oatmeal baths, calamine lotion, or hydrocortisone cream. Recognizing these plants and cleaning contaminated surfaces—including pets’ fur—reduces risk of repeated contact and allergic reactions.
