Does Immunotherapy Help With Poison Plant Allergies?
You can take steps to prevent poison plant reactions with the following tips: • Learn to identify poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac, and avoid contact with them. • Remove these plants from around your home, especially in areas where you may be working or playing. • When walking in the woods or working in areas where these plants may grow, cover your skin as much as possible by wearing long pants, long-sleeves, shoes, and socks. • Do not let pets run in wooded areas where they may be exposed to the poison plants. They can carry urushiol back home on their fur.
