Poison Plant?

Question 1: What other plants (maybe one with tiny blue flowers) can cause a poison-ivy like reaction on the skin?





Question 2: When is it time to see a doctor - after a 1 week, 2 weeks, etc?





Situation: I grew up around poison ivy. I know what it looks like; my dad went to great lengths to make sure we could recognize it as I am fairly allergic to it.





We moved to our first home last June, and we have just been able to get to removing some of the vines and ground cover. In the end up also removed a hedge fence and retaining wall, so believe me when I say that we haven't even removed 1/2 of the plants that we need to.





Last August, my mom and husband went out and tried to get rid of some of the vines. My mom ended up with a rash that developed only after 1 month had passed.





Although I was extremely careful, I seem to be allergic to the same plant. Mine appeared after 2-3 days, and...

Poison Plant?
It is interesting that some people do not have problems walking through poison ivy, or poison oak. I was that way for a while, and then suddenly I was no longer immortal. There are a number of plants that can cause problems for some select people. Take for example euphorbias, such as the poinsettia, which contain a latex like milky sap. Most people can handle the latex like sap without any problem, but others can't. That's how the big rumor got started that poinsettias were really bad. For me, it's when I brush my bare arms up against many types of juniper that I develope a rash.





Without a picture, your small blue flowered plant could be practically anything, but if you believe that this little guy is the culprit then indeed you may want to get identified correctly. I know that you said that you do not have poison ivy, but let me just say that the woody vine structure of poison ivy can remain around for quite a while after all the leaves have died. You would have to be pretty good to be able to identify poison ivy from just looking at a bare piece of stem. And, unfortunately for some people, all they would have to do is to grab onto that woody stem to become affected. But, if you're certain that you never have had poison ivy on the property then I would assume that you're just hypersensitive to this other plant; at least moreso than other people.





Best time to see a doctor? Doesn't it take a month to even get in to see one? Actually, if the rash spreads, if the blisters continue, if you can't bear the itching, or if people don't want you near them, then you'd better ask the doc.
