Poison Ivy TreatmentPoison ivy treatment is a good thing to know. Exposure to this nasty vine is one of the most miserable things you'll ever encounter. That awful, intense itching starts first.Then you get the blisters that ooze a clear liquid, and eventually your skin looks like you took a grater to it. My husband and I have had it so bad, the itching wakes us in the middle of the night, and we can't get back to sleep. Now that's miserable! If you live in the country or spend much time in the woods, the occasional outbreak is going to happen. However, knowing about poison ivy treatment and prevention can lessen the attack. And if you do get that awful rash, there are ways to ease the itchies and help it to heal faster so you can enjoy the summer days again and not dread the coming of the awful ivy.
What Causes That Awful Itching?These nasty plants have an oil called urushiol (pronounced you-ROO-shee-ol). That's the stuff that causes all the problems.If the oil is allowed to linger on your skin, it can penetrate and cause that itchy, painful rash, calling for some potent poison ivy treatment to ease the suffering. Why Doesn't Everyone
Not everyone is allergic to the urushiol oil - yet.
Unfortunately, the more you're exposed to the oil, the more likely you are to develop an allergic reaction to this stuff. |
