Leaves of three, let them be! You've probably heard that little rhyme about poison ivy. But did you know that poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac all contain the same rash-causing substance? It's called urushiol (pronounced: yoo-roo-shee-ol), a colorless, odorless oil (called resin) contained in the leaves of the plants.
What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Poison Ivy?
Urushiol is considered an allergen because it causes an allergic reaction — which takes the form of a rash, itching, and sometimes swelling. Not everyone gets a reaction to urushiol, but about 60% to 80% of people do. This reaction can appear within hours of coming into contact with urushiol or as late as 5 days later. Typically, the skin becomes red, itchy, and swollen and blisters will appear. After a few days, the blisters may become crusty and start to flake off. The rash that people get from poison ivy takes 1 to 2 weeks to heal.
Should I See a Doctor?
It's a good idea to consult with your doctor if you have any kind of rash, especially if you have a fever too. If your doctor determines that a rash has been caused by poison ivy or a similar plant, he or she may tell you to take cool showers and to use a soothing lotion, such as calamine lotion. In more severe cases, doctors may prescribe pills or creams that contain antihistamines or steroids (not the same type of steroids that bodybuilders use!) to decrease itching and redness.
yup, more of the tulips outside my work.
this was the only shot that didn't have the building or parking lot in it.
you could almost pretend you were somewhere else...
With ten minutes left of lunch I sit at my desk , crack open my copy of "the illustrated life" which I have been doing during lunch the last week, when I realize that I could put the book down and get a VERY quick sketch in.
Sometimes I get so caught up in being inspired by others work that I lose the time to actually sketch. So I figure I'll leave the reading for when it's dark and use the daylight hours (as short as they are right now) to sketch!
With all that said, here is a quick sketch looking out of the conference room window.
