POISON IVY & OAK What Are The Symptoms Of Poisoning? The first symptom of poisoning is a severe itching of the skin. Subsequently, a red inflammation and a blistering of the skin begins.

Poison Ivy and Western Poison Oak both have the poisonous sap (urushiol) in their roots, stems, leaves and fruit. The sap is only released when the plant is damaged, making it easier to contract Rhus-dermatitis in the spring and early summer when leaves are most tender. The sap may be deposited on the skin by direct contact with the plant or from contact with contaminated objects. Brushing against an intact plant will not cause a reaction. www.harbourfrontcentre.com /RadicalRoadBrew Live entertainment most Tuesday evenings We sell food, beer made on site, and bottles /cans to go.
