When to Seek Medical Care

See your health care provider if you have the following conditions:
Large areas of rash causing significant discomfort
Rash on your mouth, genitals, or around your eyes
An area of the rash that becomes infected or drains pus
A great deal of swelling
People who are highly sensitive to these plants can get a severe reaction, called anaphylaxis.
If you have swelling of the face and throat or difficulty breathing, feel dizzy or faint, or lose consciousness, you may be having an anaphylactic reaction.
If you have any of these symptoms, go immediately to a hospital emergency department.
Do not attempt to drive yourself; if no one is available to drive you immediately, call 911 for emergency medical treatment.
While waiting for the ambulance to come, begin self-treatment measures.
