cause they do not know how to recog-
nize or avoid the plant in its various
forms.
The poison-ivy plant is also known
as poison oak and by various local
names. such as three-leaved ivy, poi
SON creeper, climbing sumac, mark
weed, picry, and mercury. 1t grows
in the form of woody vines, trailing
shrubs or low, erect bushes and adapts
itself to the greatest variety of condi-
tons, fourishing in woods or in the
open. in low, moist soil or in dry soil
and on hillsides. 1t is especially album
dant along fence rows and at the
edges of paths and roadways, scram-
bling over rocks and walls, climbing
posts or trees to considerable heights,
often mixed with other shrubbery in
such a way as to escape notice until
it's presence is made known by a case
of poisoning.
Poison ivy, or poison oak, is found
in one or more forms in practically
all sections of the country. In its
various forms the plant is most readily
recognized by its leaves, which are
always divided into three leaflets, and
by its whitish waxy fruits, which look
somewhat like mistletoe berries. All
varieties do not bear fruits, but when
discovered the whitish or cream-col-
ored berries make recognition positive.
Poison sumac is also known as
swamp su1nac, poison elder poison
ash, poison dogwood, and thunder
wood. 1t grows only in swamps or in
wet ground, and is found from the
New England states south as far as
Florida and westward to Minnesota,
Arkansas and Louisiana. 1t grows as

a shrub in clumps with tall, slender
stems 6 to 10 feet or more in height !;
also frequently as tree up to 20 or
~ feet high, with trunk 5 to 10
inches In diameter.
The leaves of poison sumac are d.
vided into to 13 leaflets, arranged in
pairs with single leafiet al the end.
The avoidance of shrubs growing in
low land with leaves of this general
character is safe rule for persons
not well acquainted with poison su;nac.
Poison sllmac is often confused with
elder, certain kinds of ash, and various
other shrubs and trees bearing some
what similar foliage; also with dog
wood, to which it bears no resem-
blance. It's loose dropping clusters of
flowers, followed by smooth, ivory
white fruits. are readily distinguished
from the densely covered upright ter
minal spikes of the harmless SumacS.
Other differences are readily notice
able, such as the wing-like growth
along the margins of the leaf stalks
of the dwarf sumac and the hairy COW
erings of the leafstalks and twigs of
the staghOrn sumac.
After exposure to poison ivy, meas
ures to insure the removal of the poi
son are of primary Importance. At
first the poison is on the surface of
the skin and may be removed by wash
ing with ordinary kitchen or laundry
soap and hot water. Care should be
taken, however, not to spread the poi
son by careless washing.
Mild cases of ivy poisoning general
ly suhside within a few days and do
not cause alarm. Fatal cases, how
ever, have occurred, and where the in
flammation is extensive or severe, a
physician should be consulted. In the
early stages of ivy poisoning, remedies
having a fatty or oily base, such as
ointments, should not be used, as the
grease or oil tends to dissolve and
spread the poison, say specialists Of
the Department of Agriculture. In
stead they advise simple remedies,
such as local application of solutions
of cooking soda or of EPSON salt, one
or two teaspoonfuls to cupful of
water. Fluid extract of grindelia, di-
luted with four to eight parts of water,
is often used with success.
Solutions of this kind may be APP
piled with light bandages or clean
cloths, which should be kept moist and
should be changed and discarded fire.
uuently TO avoid infection. During the
night, or when moist applications cam
not be used, the poisoned surfaces
should be carefully cleaned and dried
and left exposed to the air rather
than tightly bandaged. In the later
stage, after the toxic material has ex-
hausted itself, zinc-oxid ointment and
similar mild antisepties and astringent
applications hasten healing.
