'Tis the season for gardening, hiking and the eventual summertime bout of poison ivy, poison oak or poison sumac. It seems like a beijing escort girl (http://www.escortinworld.org/beijing-escort) no-brainer for massage therapists when it comes to treating a client. The basic precaution of not touching the area of a visible rash does indeed apply. But should a massage therapist be cautious beyond the mere visible indications of some sort of contact dermatitis? And, if all precautions fail, how do you deal with that itchy rash?

It is easy to understand our love of the outdoors. After a long, cold winter, we want to plant flowers and vegetables; we want to 090821zpzd get out to mow lawns, pull weeds and watch birds. After all, we are all connected, participating in the cycles of life, the ebb and flow of Mother Nature. And then there is poison ivy, that lovely but toxic three-leaved plant that seems to invade our little plot of beauty.

It is important, as massage therapists, to be aware of both the causes and treatment of being exposed to poison ivy, as well as poison oak and poison sumac. If a client has it, should they get a massage? If the massage therapist has it should he or she give a massage? Can getting a beijing escort girl (http://www.escortinworld.org/beijing-escort) spread, or otherwise affect the rash?

How Does a Person Get Poison Ivy?

There is basically one way to get poison ivy. (This applies to poison oak and poison sumac as well.) It is to come in contact with the plant and ultimately have the plant oils get on the skin. Even if you don't physically touch the plant with bare skin, it may be that your pet, or some item of clothing brushes by one of the plants, and in turn you touch them - by putting on your gardening boots or petting your dog - and come in contact with the toxic oil.
