Poison Oak Remedies

It is very essential that against the contact with the plant we get to have an effective job of cleaning. This way we can avoid the urushiol hosted on clothing, shoes, objects, and even in our own pets, come to direct contact with our skin.




In this regard we must bear in mind that the substance can remain active up to one year, thus, only a proper disinfection can guarantee that we are avoiding the triggering of the allergic reaction.

For disinfection of objects is recommended to use alcohol, and finally, it is important not to forget to bathe our pets if they have also been exposed to the oil trigger the allergic reaction.
