Tip of the Day: Prevent Poison Ivy Rash
If you think you have touched poison leaves IMMEDIATELY wash the affected area with Dawn, Palmolive, or Joy dish washing liquid. These kitchen staples cut the risk of developing a rash by 60% because the degreasing compounds in these detergents break down the plant’s rash-producing urushiol oil so it rinses off your skin to hopefully keep you rash free. You can also try a cloth soaked in apple cider vinegar on your skin for about 2 minutes to break down the itchy oils.
