How does poison ivy spread??!


Question:

How does poison ivy spread??

I just had it on my neck a couple of days ago and now I have it everywhere!!! How does it spread to different parts of your body?? Does anybody know any ways to make it stop itching so bad??


Answers:

Well it spreads by touching it. The poison ivy produces an oil and it transfers and stays on your skin. Whenever you touch it spreads to whereever you touch. I would say stop touching the infected areas and if you do immediatly wash your hands and do not touch anything. Also use camomile lotion. It smells kind of weird but it will help calm the itch. Please try to avoid itching because it can damage your skin. Best of luck!
