SEARCH Poison Ivy Poison ivy is the common name given to a plant which can cause an unpleasant, itchy rash (as you probably already know). Here are some facts about the plant and the rash that might help you work and play outdoors more comfortably. What is poison ivy and how can I identify it? The plant is extremely common in Bloomington and in the country surrounding the city. It is a versatile plant, and usually grows as a vine on trees, rock walls, or buildings. If there is no such support nearby, poison ivy will grow as a small bush or shrub. Poison ivy has a number of relatives which can cause an identical rash on sensitive persons. This group includes poison oak, poison sumac (which doesn't grow here), the cashew tree, the mango (mango fruit, not the green pepper), and the fruit of the Ginkgo tree. A typical poison ivy leaf is made up of three leaflets, all joined together to a common stalk. The leaflet stems at the point where they join are often colored slightly reddish (but not always). The leaflets may have toothed edges (as in poison oak) or may be smooth. Grape-like clumps of greenish, then white berries appear in mid-summer, and in fall the leaves turn an attractive orange-yellow or red. How does poison ivy cause a rash?

Poison Ivy Toxicodendron radicans by Michael Kuo Unfortunately for mushroom hunters, poison ivy and related plants are common and abundant in most areas. Contact with these plants can cause minor rashes or serious dermatitisalthough some people seem not to be "allergic." Even these people, however, should learn how to recognize the plants and stay clear of them. Look for the following features: Shiny leaves in groups of three. The two lateral leaves without a distinct stem. Leaves apple-green in spring, dark green in summer, red in fall. Notches on some leaves, creating a mitten-ish shape. These features apply to Toxicodendron radicans , the most common and widely distributed of the poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac plants.

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.

Symptoms of Posion Ivy or Poison Oak Exposure Reducing the Risk of Posion Ivy Exposure and Rash Back to Top Poison Ivy Rash, Poison Oak Rash and Plant Information Poison ivy and poison oak rashes are caused by exposure to these poisonous plants. In sensitive persons, this causes a red area that my be slightly swollen and covered with small blisters. Exposed areas such as the hands, arms, and face are most frequently involved. The itching may be intense. There are two types of poison ivy: the climbing variety (toxicodendron radicans) and the nonclimbing (toxicodendron rydbergii) or Rydberg's poison ivy. These species interbreed, look very similar, sometimes grow in the same places, and can give you the same rash. The name poison oak is often applied to the shrub-like forms of poison ivy and to at least two similar plants that are usually considered separate species of the cashew family, Anacardiaceae. The poison oak of the southeastern United States, Rhus quercifolia, has its leaves divided into three leaflets; the leaflets are densely haired and generally have three to seven distinct lobes. The white, berry-like fruits are also somewhat hairy. The poison oak of the U.S. Pacific coast, R. diversiloba, is a shrubby or sometimes climbing plant that grows to 2.4 m (8 ft) high; its three-leaflet leaves are toothed or lobed and are hairless. Both species contain poisonous substances that are believed to be identical or closely related to that found in poison ivy.

109. Poison Ivy From Guitar Player Magazine Oooh! poison ivy cramps vamp talks guitar by Jas Obrecht. WOof). “poison ivy, a golden harem sphinx, a sheen of perspiration over her alabaster body. http://members.shaw.ca/thecramps/gplayer.html

Oooh! Poison Ivy cramps vamp talks guitar by Jas Obrecht from Guitar Player Magazine - August 1990 (Thanks be to Scott from 'Snake in the Grass' for contributing it. WOof) “Poison Ivy, a golden harem sphinx, a sheen of perspiration over her alabaster body. Sweat streaks her guitar as she plays keen bloodnotes. The songs are of decapitations, transmogrifications, psycho frenzies, invading saucermen, voodoo, and pussy. Always pussy. It’s a smoking, fuzzy, wild sound, full of an intensity that lies halfway betweebn sexual stimulation and demonic possession.” For once a record company promo write-up smacks of accuracy. Stay Sick!, the first Cramps album to come near the mainstream, positively slithers with the procreante urge. Poison Ivy’s distorted rockabilly riffs cover Lux Interior’s monstrous, monotone vocals like cool Calamine – maximum reverb and tremolo, please. While Lux lampoons images of smoking poodles, drag racers on acid, and women swimmin’ in chilli, Poison Ivy plays the straightwoman, creating ‘50s-approved guitar parts that pay tribute to the likes of Link Wray, Paul Burlison, and friends. Seldom has psychobilly been so appealingly packaged. The Cramps saga began more than a decade ago - at a roadside near Sacramento, California, to be precise. Lux, cruising along in “a very psychadelic mood,” picked up little Poison Ivy and, discovering their mutual passion for obscure rock’n’roll records, the hitcher and the hitchee became inseperable. Some serious metamorphoses took place during the next several years, leading Lux and Ivy to move to New York City with “Papa-Oom-Mau-Mau” and Link Wray ripchords echoing inside their skulls. With Nick Knox on drums and an ever-changing line-up of second guitarists – “a cavalcade of swashbucklers,” Ivy calls ‘em – the band got to work.

"LEAF" IT ALONE: PLANTS TO KEEP AWAY FROM Most people are allergic to poison ivy and other poisonous plants. In fact, around 90% of the U.S. population is! The best way to keep from getting this itchy and bumpy rash is to know what these plants look like and avoid contact with them, since they won't fly up and bite you like a bug will. Sometimes contact with a poisonous plant may be unavoidable - even if you don't actually touch the plant. Say what? That's right - because it's the oil inside of the plant, called urushiol, not necessarily touching the leaf itself, that causes the rash. If your dog runs through the yard or woods and comes in contact with poison ivy, poison oak or poison sumac, the leaf or the stem can break off, spreading the oil inside of it onto your dog's fur. Then, when you pet your dog, the oil gets on your skin, which causes the reaction. The result is an uncomfortable and blistering skin rash that may itch like crazy! Once the oil comes out of the plant, it gradually takes on the appearance of a black substance. If you should come into contact with the actual plant or a "mysterious" black substance, immediately wash the skin with soap and warm water to remove any oil. If you do this within 20 minutes from when you first touched the urushiol, you have a good chance of avoiding a totally itchy outbreak. Urushiol can remain active for up to 2 months or even longer if it remains in dry, cool conditions, such as in the basement or garage. So you can touch contaminated gardening equipment, clothing, shoes or even pets for some time after they have had initial contact with the plant oil, and still get a reaction on your skin. It seems like the rash just popped out of nowhere, but the source may be right under your nose! This may

Agricultural Poison Ivy: Identification and Control Ray R. Rothenberger Department of Horticulture, University of Missouri-Columbia L.E. Anderson Department of Agronomy, University of Missouri-Columbia Although poison ivy ( Rhus radicans ) is easily identified and should be avoided, countless people experience a painful introduction to the species. A mere touch of the foliage can result in a blotching of the skin and burning water blisters, which cause the flesh beneath to swell and throb with intense pain. Symptoms may become evident within a short time after exposure, or they may take a few days to appear. Fortunately, such an attack leaves no scars, and general health is not impaired. All parts of the plant, including stem and roots, contain and secrete a nonvolatile oil (oleo resin), which affects the skin. Because the oil is insoluble in water, washing with water alone merely spreads the oil to other areas and increases the discomfort. However, washing with a strong alkali soap such as yellow laundry or naptha will relieve the discomfort. Alcohol will dissolve and remove the oily substance from the skin and if applied soon enough will prevent irritation. Burning poison ivy after it has been cut or grubbed out and dried can be hazardous because smoke can cause the same symptoms. Inhaling the smoke can result in serious consequences.

The urushiols chemically "lock 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 then couple in a chain-like reaction. This fluid then hardens to a yellowish crust. Left untreated, the rash (a typical histamine response) will last three to five weeks.

117. Poison Oak/Ivy--How To Cope With Poison Oak Or Ivy On Your Property Article on controlling these weeds. http://eesc.orst.edu/agcomwebfile/garden/Weeds/poisonoakivy.html

EESC Home Gardening Information Northwest Gardeners E-News Poison Oak/IvyHow to cope with poison oak or ivy on your property CORVALLIS - Home gardeners and property owners should be on the lookout: Poison oak and ivy are starting to sprout. Both of these native perennial weeds are spread by birds, who feed on the seeds in the winter, inadvertently dispersing these noxious plants all around the countryside. Poison oak is common to western Oregon and Washington, while poison ivy is found in the eastern parts of both states, explained Susan Aldrich-Markham, field crops agent with the Oregon State University Extension Service. Poison oak and ivy are each a different species, but are similar in their appearance, growth, effects on humans and responses to control efforts. They both grow along fence rows, waste areas, open and cut over forest lands, stream banks and rocky canyons. In the fall, both species' leaves turn brilliant red. Unwary people who gather these colorful leaves sometimes suffer acute allergic reactions, sometimes requiring hospitalization. Both poison oak and poison ivy are readily identified by their leaves, which are divided into three leaflets. Shiny when young, the leaflets usually range from half an inch to two inches long, although poison oak leaves may be larger. Flowers are greenish white, about a quarter-inch across and are borne in clusters in the leaf axils. The fruits are white, berrylike, glossy and dry when ripe, about a sixth of an inch in diameter in poison ivy and a little larger in poison oak. All parts of poison oak and ivy except the pollen are poisonous, year-round.

If you try all these over the counter and/or natural remedies, wait 14 days. If you go to the doctor for serious mind altering steroids, it's gone within a day. What is it and how does it work? Various species of the genus Rhus. The sap and crushed leaves contain a chemical which is absorbed by skin cells. The body mounts an immune response to these contaminated cells. Once begun, the reaction ends only when all the contaminated cells have been shed. This is one argument for scratching as much as possible, at the expense of additional scarring. What are effective treatments? There are a lot of conflicting suggestions for treatment. Antihistamines are either very effective or worthless. If the affected area is small enough, self treatment with over the counter remedies can provide 'temporary relief'. One cheap suggestion is to apply very hot (but not scalding) water to the area, which is supposed to provide several hours of relief by deadening the nerves in the area. One person reported losing a lot of skin with this method. Others report that the itching recurs worse than before, possibly due to increased blood flow in the area. I did not try this method.
