How Can Poison Plant Reactions Be Prevented?

You can take steps to prevent poison plant reactions with the following tips:
  • Learn to identify poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac, and avoid contact with them.
  • Remove these plants from around your home, especially in areas where you may be working or playing.
  • When walking in the woods or working in areas where these plants may grow, cover your skin as much as possible by wearing long pants, long-sleeves, shoes, and socks.
  • Do not let pets run in wooded areas where they may be exposed to the poison plants. They can carry urushiol back home on their fur.
