Use Your Eyes.

Vacationists. campers and mixers through
the Maryland woods are warned against
the danger that turks in the familiar three
leaved vine-the poison ivy-that climbs
over old fences, festoons itself over stumps
and bushes. clings to trees and forms a
carpet over uncleared grounds. 1T is worth
while for every out-of-doors person to learn
to use his eyes," DR.. r. II. Riley, Director
of the State Department of Health said in
issuing his warning, $50 that he may be
able to distinguish between vegetation
that is friendly and the plants and vines
and other growing things that should be
avoided.
POISON ivy is one OF the worst offenders
and in season like this when all vegeta-
ton is especially luxuriant. the growth of
this climbing. clambering vine is particu-
larly abundant. But you can avoid ii If you
will remember that poison ivy is readily
distinguished from other vines by its three
leaflets. The old saying Leaflets three
let them be, is worth recalling The Viz
gitia creeper. or wOodbine as it is also
called, with which poison ivy is often con-
fused and with which tits often entangled,
has five we'll marked leaflets.
THE dermatitis-skin pOisOning-that is
caused by poison ivy and by other mem
beers OF the same family Of plants. among
them the poison sumac. and the poison
oak, which is not an oak at all. is due TO
an irritating resinOus substance In the
sap of the plants The slightest bru,sing
of the bark or Of the leaves seems TO release
this substance. Some people are immune
to its effects. Children and certain adults
are very sensitive to it and very slight
contact will produce the characteristic
symptoms Direct contact does not seem
10 be necessary. as the sap is readily car
ried on the shoes or clothing. on farm or
garden implements. on the fur Of animals,
on golf clubs and golf balls. and in some
instances in drOplets in the smoke OF burn
ing brush containing the branches of the
vine.
1.-THE symptoms of poison ivy poisoning
often include in addition to painful and
severe irritation of the skin. swelling Of
the affected parts, constitutional disturb
ances, fever, digestive and kidney compli-
cations. Ii is obvious that the first precau-
ton to be taken is TO learn to recognize
the plant and to avoid il. II. inadvertently.
as often happens. in taking tramp through
the woods, you come in contact with II.
the first to do is to lather and wash the
affected parts thoroughly with good
alkaline soap-strong kitchen soap-and
water, rinsing frequently in clean water.
The washing must be thorough and care
must be taken not to spread the irritating
poison.
THE itching and redness that are the first
symptoms of the dermatitis may not ap-
pear for day or even for several days.
But il these symptoms do appear, don't
wait for further developments. consult your
doctor. lie will tell you what to do next"
