Poison Ivy is a common poisonous plant that causes an itchy skin rash. It produces an oily sap that contains urushiol, which causes an irritating, itchy allergic reaction. When you touch the poisonous plant or an object that’s been in contact with the plant’s oil, you develop an itchy rash on that area of your skin. This rash is a form of allergic contact dermatitis.
Up to 90% of people who come into contact with poison ivy oil develop an itchy rash. You don’t have to be exposed to much: 50 micrograms of urushiol — an amount smaller than a grain of salt — is enough to cause a reaction. You can become susceptible to a poison ivy rash at any time in your life, even if you never reacted to it in the past.
If you’re wondering how to identify poison ivy, look at its leaves. Each leaf of the poison ivy plant has three leaflets. A popular saying is, “leaves of three, let them be.” Poison ivy leaves turn reddish in the spring, green in the summer and yellow, orange or red in the fall. Poison ivy grows as a shrub or a vine. A poison ivy vine is hairy and ropelike. Eastern U.S. poison ivy typically grows as a vine. Western U.S. poison ivy normally grows low to the ground as a shrub. Poison ivy does not have thorns. A poison ivy shrub may have white berries.
| Symptoms |
Poison ivy rash often appears in a straight line because of the way the plant brushes against your skin, but if you develop a rash after touching a piece of clothing or pet fur that has urushiol on it, the rash may be more spread out. You can also transfer the oil to other parts of your body with your fingers. The reaction usually develops 12 to 48 hours after exposure and lasts two to three weeks. The severity of the rash depends on the amount of urushiol that gets on your skin. |
