Also called: Ivy poison, Rhus dermatitis, Toxicodendron dermatitis, Poison Burns
Poison Burns or Poison Ivy Burns is an allergic manifestation caused by close contact with the Poison Ivy plant. The poison ivy plant contains oil called Urushiol .This oil "bonds" to skin when it comes in contact with it causing Poison Ivy Burns or Rhus dermatitis or Toxicodendron dermatitis. Most people are allergic to it. If you are allergic to Urushiol and you get it on your skin, you'll develop an itchy, red rash. Poison Burns or Poison Ivy Burns will usually begin to appear 1 to 2 days after coming in contact with Urushiol. The affected area will get red and swollen. A day or so later, small blisters will begin to form, and the rash will become very itchy. During this time, it's important to try to keep from scratching the blisters caused by Poison Burns or Poison Ivy Burns. Bacteria from under your fingernails can get into the blisters and cause an infection. After about a week, the blisters will start to dry up and the rash will start to go away. In severe cases, where the poison ivy rash covers large parts of the body, it may last much longer.

"When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering.
After an excessive
research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass?
And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
