VACATIONISTS ARE ASKED
TO SHUN THE POISON IVY
Use Your Eyes, Is Advice of
State Health Department

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 fen
ces, festoons itself over stumps and
bushes, clings to trees and form a
carpet over uncleared grounds. at
is worth while for every out of doors
person to learn to use his eyes," DR..
R. H. Riley, director of the State De-
partment 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 of
tenders and in a season like this when
all vegetation is especially luxuriant,
the growth of this clinging, Chamber
ing vine is particularly abundant
But you can avoid it if you will re-
member that poison ivy is readily dis
J tinguished from other vines by its
three leaflets. The old saying: Leaf
lets three let them be- is worth re-
calling. The Virginia creeper, or
woodbine as it is also called, with
which poison ivy is often confused
and with which it is often entangled,
has five well marked leaflets.
"The dermatitis, skin poisoning,
that is caused by poison ivy and by
other members 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 res
inous substance in the sap of plants
The slightest bruising 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 char
acteristic symptoms. Direct contact
does not seem to be necessary, as the
sap is readily carried on the shoes or
clothing, on farm or garden imple-
ments, on the fur of animals, on golf
clubs and golf balls, and in some in
stances in droplets in the smoke of
burning brush containing the bran
ches of the vine.
"The symptoms of ivy poisoning
often include in addition to painful
and severe irritation of the skin, a
swelling of the affected parts, con-
stitutional disturbances, fever, diges-
tive and kidney complications. 1t is
obvious that the first precaution to
be taken is to learn to recognize the
plant and to avoid it. If, inadver-
tently, as often happens, in taking a
tramp through the woods, you come
in contact with it, the first thing to
do is to lather and wash the affected
parts thoroughly with a good aka
| iilie oo"P' oCloiS hlCCneH Sodp, anu
water, rinsing frequently in clean wa
ter. 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 appear for day or even for
several days. But if these symptoms
do appear, don't wait for further de-
velopments, consult your doctor. He
will tell you what to do next"
