  2. Poison Ivy and Poison Oak "Leaves of three, leave them be“

  3. What to look for Look for the pattern of three leaflets branching from a single, independent stem. You’ll find two leaves attached directly to the stalk, opposite each other. The third leaf will jut from between them on a short stem, forming a distinct T pattern. In dry weather the leaves may droop, making the pattern hard to identify.

  4. Poison Ivy and Poison OakPrevention: In addition to getting rid of poison ivy when you find it, you can avoid poison ivy by: wearing long pants and a shirt with long sleeves, boots and gloves when your kids will be most at risk, especially when playing in wooden areas, around lakes, or going on hikes apply Ivy-Block to exposed areas .

  5. Poison Ivy and Poison OakTreating Exposures: If you are exposed, according to the FDA, you should quickly (within 10 minutes): First, cleanse exposed areas with rubbing alcohol. Second, wash the exposed areas with water only (no soap yet, since soap can move the urushiol, which is the oil from the poison ivy that triggers the rash, around your body and actually make the reaction worse). Third, have students take a shower with soap and warm water as soon as they get home. Lastly, put gloves on and wipe everything you had with you, including shoes, tools, and your clothes, with rubbing alcohol and water. Unfortunately, if you wait more than 10 minutes, the urushiol will likely stay on your skin and trigger the poison ivy rash. You may not be able to stop it on your skin, but you might still scrub your nails and wipe off your shoes, etc., so that you don't spread the urushiol to new areas.
