The oil is released whenrepparttar 135584 plant is bruised. The oil is still active even in dead plants.

According torepparttar 135585 American Academy of Dermatology 85 per cent of people are sensitive torepparttar 135586 oil.

Usually within 15 minutes of contact,repparttar 135587 urushiol binds to skin proteins. When you know you have been exposed wash within 5 minutes with cold water to completely prevent a reaction. If it is washed off with soap and water before that time, a reaction may be prevented.

Washing within an hour will still reduce a reaction. And for up to about 6 hours washing with alcohol may still help remove some ofrepparttar 135588 oil.

Approximately 24 to 36 hours after exposure an itchy rash with blisters develops. Scratchingrepparttar 135589 blisters doesn't spreadrepparttar 135590 rash. New lesions that appear are in areas less sensitive or where less urushiol was contacted.

Are you currently on one or more pharmaceutical drugs? Perhaps you are not aware, but every pharmaceutical drug depletesrepparttar body of various nutrients, depriving your cells ofrepparttar 135542 essential raw materials which drive normal, natural cell function.
