Poison Ivy

Surprisingly, I am starting to see a lot of kids with poison ivy rashes again in the office. Or maybe that shouldn't be so surprising, after all, the poison ivy plants are still out there, and with cooler weather, kids are outdoors playing a little more and so are getting exposed to poison ivy more. Kids are also starting to get exposed to poison ivy on the way to school, on school yards, and when playing fall sports.

Review these common poison ivy treatments, symptoms of poison ivy, and how to avoid poison ivy, so that your kids don't end up with this itchy rash.
