Preventing and treating poison ivy
By Jim Belote
The old adage "leaves of three, let them be" or "if you see white, danger is in sight" is often easier said than done, especially if you plan on spending a lot of time outside this summer.
Every year, an estimated 25 million to 40 million people in the U.S. will feel the infamous itch of poison ivy, a plant found throughout North America that typically grows in the form of a vine, often along riverbanks. For most people, this itchy rash will appear one or two days after they have been exposed to the plant, and condition can last anywhere from 10 days to three weeks.
