Poison ivy is a plant that can grow anywhere, and all it takes is a little touch or brush against it. Maybe it is in the backyard next to that tree or bush that needs to be trimmed. Or, it could be in the park next to that bench that was easily accessible to sit on, while waiting for someone. Perhaps the poison ivy is in the woods near that deer stand.

When coming in contact with poison ivy, the skin will itch badly and have lots of red blisters that makes a person want to scoot around and scratch like crazy. And, the more the area is scratched the more it spreads to the new area of the body.

If the rash does not clear up on its own or the blisters are appearing in the genitals or face, a doctor will be able to treat it more effectively.
