Poison Ivy Symptoms, Remedies and More
Symptoms of Poison Ivy
A person whose skin is exposed to urushiol from the poison ivy plant may develop a rash with redness, itching, blisters and swelling. The rash may become evident within a few hours of exposure, or it may appear a few days later. The blisters later break and form crusts.
Even the smoke produced by burning poison ivy plants can cause symptoms in people who inhale it. Irritation or damage to the nasal passages and lungs may cause breathing difficulties.
