The best way to avoid getting a rash from poison ivy, oak, or sumac is to stay away from them. Know what poisonous plants are found in your area and learn to recognize them. Be aware that their appearance can change with the seasons. Don't burn the plants because smoke carries the oil. Wear protective clothing when you're outdoors, including gloves, long-sleeved shirts, and long pants. Wash your hands well when you come in from outside. Bathe pets that may have come in contact with the plants. Wash any clothes, tools, and camping, hunting, and sporting gear that may have the plant oil on them. If you live in an area that has a lot of these plants, you can apply over-the-counter products such as Ivy Block or Stokoguard, which can block the oil from getting to your skin.
Calamine lotion is a very easy to use, but it is recommended to follow the directions on the back of the bottle. The lotion needs to be shaken before it can be used. This mixes all the ingredients together evenly so you can get the full effect of the lotion. To apply the lotion, you should use a cotton ball. Most bottles tell the user to apply the lotion to the cotton ball and then dab onto the rash. Once the medicine is on the skin, it will take about 30 minutes to fully dry.
