All about allergy

Avoid these plants. Learn what they look like in your area. Be aware that their appearance can vary with the seasons.
Do not burn the plants. Burning can release the allergens into the air.
Wear proper clothing to protect your skin, such as gloves, long sleeves, and long pants.
Bathe pets that may have the oil on their fur. Use soapy water. Do not forget to wear protective clothing while doing this.
Wash any clothing that might contain the plant oil. Unwashed clothes can retain the oil and cause a rash in anyone who wears or handles them.
Before you go out in a potentially infested area, you can apply nonprescription products such as Ivy Block or Stokoguard, which act as a barrier to the oils.
Remember that the oil can be transferred from people, pets, or objects. Thoroughly wash anything that may carry the oil.
