Poison Ivy Symptoms, Remedies and More
Preventing Poison Ivy
Avoiding contact with poison ivy plants is the best way to prevent resulting rashes. People should learn to recognize poison ivy and clear it away from their yards. It's helpful to wear protective clothing, such as long-sleeved tops, long pants and gloves, and use over-the-counter protective skin products to keep poison ivy away from skin.
After known exposure to poison ivy plants, people should wash their skin thoroughly and launder their clothing. Cleaning any implements they used is recommended.
