INFECTIONS FROM PLANTS

Summer time is always accom-
panied by an increase in the oppor-
tunitieS for people to come into con-
tact with some of the plants to which
they may be sensitive A large num-
Der of plants are potential causes of
skin manifestations of the nature of
dermatitis.
Poison ivy poison oak sumac, dog
wood ash, primrose, ragweed tous9
weed and many other plants may
cause dermatitis in individuals SEN
sitive to these plants. Poison ivy is
common in the United States and
poison oak is particularly noted in
the Western states. The skin erup-
tions resulting from contact with
these two plants or their derivatives
are much the same.
The symptoms usually begin few
hours after contact and are most
commonly first noted on the backs
of the fingers. in the skin between
the fingers on the wrists or eye
lids. Itching is noticed early and
this is followed by the appearance
of small fluid-containing blisters
with swelling of the surroundina
tissues. The itching results in scrat-
ching that tends to spread the con-
tact material in lines along the
scratched regions. The blisters breal;
and the patches OF dermatitis be-
come covered with dried crusts from
the fluid derived from them An at
tack lasts from two to three weeks
and repeated attacks do not cause
an individual to be immune. Severe
attacks may be very distressing and
seriously incapacitate an individual

frequently areas should be des-
troyed by spraying them with
strong solution of common salt in
