I was in the yard about 6 hours ago and I just noticed that my face was becoming red on the right side, with swelling and itching. I looked out where I was, and there was a baby poison ivy plant. I am HIGHLY allergic to poison ivy. My right eye is swelling. The plant was a baby plant; very small but had some red spots in the green leaves. How strong is this plant compared to that of an adult plant? Should I go to the ER now and get my steroid shot?
P.S. I had this before on the left side of my face; it took two months before getting any better.
Strength of baby poison ivy plant and what to do?
Unfortunately, young plants, roots, and even smoke from burning poison ivy plants are full of the toxin. Good luck.
