Poison Ivy is a harmful vine in the cashew family. It grows plentifully in parts of the United States (especially the Pacific Northwest ) and southern Canada.  Contact with the plants should be avoided. After the oil has touched the skin, it usually takes some time for it to penetrate and do its damage. Before this happens, it is wise to wash the skin thoroughly several times with plenty of soap and water. If you do end up with a rash try this recipe for homemade calamine lotion from Every Day Roots.
