Itching for Summer

Being outdoors and playing in nature can lead to an itchy situation if you get into a batch of poison ivy.  The leaves contain a substance that, if you're allergic to, can cause a major irritating rash. It starts itching and if you start scratching, you could end up scarring yourself or spreading it to other areas of your body.  The best way to avoid getting poison ivy is to avoid coming in contact with a poison ivy plant. There's a saying that goes leaves of three, let them be.  Remember it.  And avoid contact with plants that fit that description.
