What are Some Home Remedies for Poison Ivy?
Poison ivy is a plant that can cause rashes and itching in a person who comes into contact with its leaves. While it takes a while for poison ivy to run its course and leave the body, there are several ways to alleviate the itching and speed up the healing process. The first step to take after coming in contact with poison ivy is to wash all objects and body parts that came in contact with the plant. This is because the itching is caused by the urushiol oil within the plant. This oil can last on objects and continue to be spread long after contact has been made.
