Poison Ivy has three or five pointed leaflets with smooth or toothed edges. It typically grows as a climbing vine and grows yellow or green flowers and white berries. It produces an allergic reaction known as urushiol-induced contact dermatitis. Urushiol is an oil based allergen…
Always wear gloves, and long protective clothing. You should use a hat and goggles as well. Note that urushiol takes a long time to break down. This means that dead poison ivy vines and even the urushiol on your gloves can cause an allergic reaction months and even years after removing the vines. If you touch your face or other parts of your body with your gloves, a reaction may occur. Urushiol oil spreads around just like car grease. If you've worked on cars, you will know how easily car grease can get all over you.…

They usually start to feel pain, itching, or tingling in the area that the rash is going to form itself. The rash is fluid filled blisters that usually form in a band, strip, or a small area. The blisters eventually crust over within 7 to 10 days, but it takes about 2 to 4 weeks for them to completely heal. This rash may leave scars.…
Here's how the poison ivy response occurs. Urushiol makes its way down through the skin, where it is metabolized, or broken down. Immune cells called T lymphocytes (or T-cells) recognize the urushiol derivatives as a foreign substance, or antigen. They send out inflammatory signals called cytokines, which bring in white blood cells. Under orders from the cytokines, these white blood cells turn into macrophages. The macrophages eat foreign substances, but in doing so they also damage normal tissue, resulting in the skin inflammation that occurs with poison ivy. …
The first symptom you will encounter will be pain. After this, the Rash begins to form along with blisters filled fluid. Some people may also experience a fever, fatigue and sensitivity to light.…
The blisters' life span is around 3-4 weeks. They start as round fluid filled blisters and as the eruption loses its intensity they become crusty and dry.

The space assigned to the wound care group is half of D106 classroom. The physical work area will be restricted to the table arrangement in the front of the classroom.

b. Why you may ask? It has Talc in it. Talc is closely related to the potent carcinogen asbestos. Talc particles have been shown to cause tumors in the ovaries and lungs of cancer victims. For the last 30 years, scientists have closely scrutinized talc particles and found dangerous similarities to asbestos. Responding to this evidence in 1973, the FDA drafted a resolution that would limit the amount of asbestos-like fibers in cosmetic grade talc. However, no ruling has ever been made and today, cosmetic grade talc remains non-regulated by the federal government. Talc is used on babies because it…
Symptoms- Symptoms tend to appear 14 to 16 days after the initial exposure but can occur anytime from 10 days up to 21 days after contact with the virus. Chickenpox is characterized by one to two days of fever up to 102 F and a rash, often the first sign of the disease. Rarely, a person may have the disease without the rash.

This process usually starts on the scalp, then the trunk and last the arms and legs. The rash is typically itchy.…
