Ivy, Poison POISON! Botanical: Rhus Toxicodendron (LINN.) Family: N.O. Anacardiaceae Descripton Part Used Medicinally Constituents Medicinal Action and Uses -Synonyms- Poison Oak. Poison Vine. -Part Used- Leaves. -Habitat- The American Poison Ivy is one of the species of Sumachs, an attractive group of plants widely distributed in Europe, Asia and North America, varying much in habit from low bushes to moderately-sized trees, and many of them familiar denizens of our gardens, for the sake of their ornamental foliage, which mostly assume beautiful tints in autumn, some of the varieties also bearing showy fruits. It grows in thickets and low grounds in North America, where it is quite common. Its sap is of an extremely poisonous character, and in many persons the slightest contact with the leaves causes a rash of a most distressing character, the hands and arms and sometimes the whole body becoming greatly swollen from simply touching or carrying a branch of the plant, the swelling being accompanied with intolerable pain and inflammation, ending in ulceration. Some persons however, are able to handle the plant with impunity. It has been sometimes known as Ampelopsis Hoggii , and under this name has occasionally been introduced with other climbers, but it has nothing to do with the group of Vines known under the name of Ampelopsis , and its presence in our gardens should be avoided.

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.

It grows just about everywhere and so far, it looks like this summer is going to produce an especially excellent crop. P.I. is extremely variable in its forms, growing as a vine, a ground cover, or upright. Old vines get very hairy looking. The old addage is "Leaves of three, leave it be", and refers to the 3 glossy or dull green leaflets, 2 to 4 inches long. The leaves are somewhat variable in shape. Poison Oak has more irregular leaves. It produces whitish flowers from August to November that dry and remain for a long time. In the fall, the leaves take on bright colors yellow and then turning red. An oil that the plant produces is responsible for varying degrees of irritation from skin inflammation to blistering. You don't even have to touch it. You can get it from smoke if it is being burned. It is said that even 100 year old leaves can cause irritation. Peoples' bodies respond differently to exposure to Poison Ivy. You may get into it once and not experience any effects, only to be lulled by that false sense of security, get into it later and become such a blistered and scarred, itchy, freak that you won't want to leave the house. Sometimes people who have been seemingly immune to the exposure will have a bout that will make up for all of the times when they were in it before and didn't get it.

10. Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron Radicans) , uses, care and control (with photos)...... http://www.cloudnet.com/~djeans/FlwPlant/PoisonIvy.htm

Poison Ivy Toxicodendron radicans (Rhus radicans) Cashew or Sumac Family: Anacardiaceae A highly variable perennial woody vine or shrub, native to North America and Asia and introduced in Great Britain, Europe, and Australia. There is considerable disagreement over whether poison ivy is one species with variations, or many separate species. It is also sometimes said that the poison oaks ( Toxicodendron diversilobum and Toxicodendron quercifolium ) are merely variations of the same species. The photos on this page depict the common form in my locale, but the text is more general. Poison ivy prefers rich soil with good drainage and plenty of water. It is particularly common around lakes, swamps, and rivers. It will grow perfectly well, however, in a wide variety of other habitats. It's common along roadsides and trails, in areas of waste ground, in thickets, in open woods, and in old fields. It seems to do best in places that are just slightly shaded. New poison ivy shoots sprout from existing roots, from rhizomes (underground stems), from climbing vines, and of course, from seed. The stems are woody, brown, and smooth (though older stems of climbing plants develop a very hairy appearance). They may trail along (or just under) the ground, sending frequent branches both out and up. They may grow upright, in a shrub form, which can reach 7 feet in height under good conditions. Or they may grow as a vine, up to 5 inches in diameter, climbing trees and fences by means of dense, dark, fibrous, aerial roots (giving the vines that hairy look).

It grows to 10 feet or more, climbing high on trees, walls and fences or trails along the ground. All parts of poison ivy, including the roots, are poisonous at all times of the year. The toxin in poison ivy is an oil which causes an irritating skin reaction on many people. The reaction, an itchy rash with clear blisters, is variable in severity among people, and can vary from year to year on the same individual. The poison ivy reaction can be reduced if you change clothing immediately and wash the exposed skin with soap and water. if you can wash all the oil off exposed skin within 5 minutes of contact, no reaction will occur. Even water from a running stream is an effective cleanser. The oil from poison ivy can remain active on clothing and footwear as long as a year so be careful not to expose yourself to the oil again. The oil can also be transmitted on pet fur and in the smoke of burning poison ivy. YOU CAN USE various products such as MultiShield applied prior to anticipated exposure or Tecnu Skin Cleanser to cleanse exposed skin. However, the best way to avoid the irritating rash is being able to identify poison ivy.

Sejbl Leaves of three, let them be; Berries white, run in fright Folk Rhyme "Wow,” joked Woody, “Since I'm a moose, I think I'll have a poison ivy salad for lunch!” What to look for... Poison Oak has two distinct species. Both types have fuzzy-looking leaves in clusters of three. The leaves look a little like the leaves of the oak tree. Eastern poison oak grows from New Jersey to Florida and as far west as Texas and Kansas. Western poison oak grows along the Pacific coast from Washington state to Mexico. There are two closely related species of Poison Ivy. It grows almost everywhere in the United States except Nevada and parts of California. Poison ivy may look like a vine climbing up a tree, a bushy shrub or even a small tree. Poison ivy's leaves generally grow in bunches of three and, in the last summer and fall, there may also be tiny white berries growing in bunches from the stems. Poison ivy rarely grows at altitudes higher than 5,000 feet. Poison Sumac's three- to four-inch-long leaves grow in clusters of seven to 13 leaves. The leaves are orange in spring, green in summer, and red, orange, or yellow in fall. The plants can grow as tall as 15 feet high. Poison Sumac grows in bogs, swamps and wet bottom land east of the Mississippi River. Poison sumac plants usually have red stems, may have long clusters of whitish berries in the summer and fall.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Skin conditions Poison ivy, oak, and sumac Originally Published: September 04, 1998 / Updated on: December 20, 2002 Dear Alice, What are the symptoms of poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac? Are they treatable with over-the-counter medications OR is a doctor visit required? Dear Reader, Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, and Poison Sumac are caused by an allergic reaction to an oily substance produced by these plants called urushiol. Over 50 percent of people are allergic to it, experiencing an itchy, blistery rash within a day or two of coming into contact with these fragile, defensive plants. Poison Ivy is most common in the eastern United States, while Poison Oak is usually found west of the Rockies. Poison Sumac is quite abundant along the Mississippi River. Keep in mind, however, that there is cross over. If you have the unfortunate luck of brushing elbows (or knees, fingers, legs, or any other body part) with one of the members of this troublesome threesome, look out for the tell-tale rash and incessant itching. You may get redness, slight swelling, or blisters, as well. Remember that you can also absorb the sap/oil from clothing or pets who have brushed against the plants, or may have a reaction if you've inhaled the smoke from burning Poison Ivy, Oak, or Sumac. Some people also swear by over-the-counter homeopathic remedies. One of the most popular in this case is rhus tox, which is made from poison oak itself, encapsulating completely the homeopathic philosophy that "like cures like." Similar to all homeopathic remedies, the claims of which are not substantiated by research, take caution and keep your health care provider informed of what you are taking.

Facts about Poison Ivy How do you get poison ivy? From touching it, or touching something that has touched it, like your clothes or your dog. You normally get it from touching the leaves, but yanking the vine out by the roots - even in winter - will give you a wicked rash. And there are more unusual ways to get it, like breathing smoke from firewood burning with poison ivy on it. At lovely Letchworth State Park in New York State, we made sure to include poison ivy in our scenic photos. See detail, below. The plant in front is grapevine, but the tall one in the middle is our old friend. What about immunity? Some people appear to be immune, others become immune. HOWEVER, you can gain or lose immunity, so to assume you can't get it if you never have before is foolish. People change as they age.
