Poison Ivy Always Lurks, Best Medicine ? Avoid It In District Court Man Pleads Guilty To 17 Charges "Leaves of three - let them be!" Most of us have heard that old saying about poison ivy but every year many of us will end up with its uncomfortable itching. When coming in contact with the leaves your skin may develop an allergic reaction to the oleoresin, an oil contained in the leaves and berries of the plant. Soon after contact the affected areas of your skin may show a rash of blisters. That's when the itching begins. You may not get poison ivy the first time you touch the plant but repeated contact with its oleoresin may lead to sensitization, or allergy. Once allergic to poison ivy you are also allergic to poison oak and poison sumac. This is known as cross sensitization. What can you do to prevent the painful itching and blisters of poison ivy? Just learning to identify the plant and avoiding it would help a great deal. Poison ivy is relatively easy to spot. It has three leaves which are usually notched on the edges on one stem. Two of the leaves form a pair on one side of the stem with the third leaf on the opposite side. As a general rule you should wear protective clothing to keep the plant from touching your skin. Even if you haven't been out running in the woods you can still ?;et it by coming in contact with resh oleoresin on pets, golf clubs, or any object that has had recent contact with poison ivy. If you've taken all the pre cautions and still get poison ivy, there is some relief. Plain calamine lotion can be applied to relieve the itching and help dry up the blisters. You may wish to avoid more exotic lotions and potions as they may produce an allergic reaction. While poison ivy is more un comfortable than it is dangerous, any serious allergic reaction may require a call to your doctor for his advice on treatment. Still, the best medicine for poison ivy is to avoid it in the first place. A Raeford man was sentenced to a total of 32 months in jail Friday in District Court after he pleaded guilty to 17 charges.
