POISON PLANTS

(Editor’s Note. This is one in a series
of articles about vour health which
appears regularly in The News as a
public service feature,)
By The Medical Association of Georgia
Poison plants—the most common of
which are poison ivy, poison oak and
poison. sumac—cause people a lot of
trouble. After they touch or other
wise come in contact with the oils
from the plants, they break out in an
annoying rash.
The rashes that come from any of
the three plants are the same. Small,
red blisters and swelling appear. Many
people think the liquid in the blisters
spreads the blisters.” But this isn't so.
The condition . isn't contagious and
spreading the liquid to new areas of
the body or to some other person
won't cause new blisters.
Poison ivey dermatitis—the com
monest of the plant poisonings—usu
lally runs its course in seven to ten
'days. The rash usually appears two
| days after exposure, but may appear
only a few hours afterwards We

should remember, though, that not
everybody develops a rash after touch
ing a poison plant. The ‘sénsitivity to
poison ivy and the other poison plants,
like other allergies, is acquired. A
person is usually not allergic to poison
ivy until he is four or five years old
‘and the allergy is less common in the
&elderly than,jn,youngcr persons, Fur
‘thermore, a person can handle poison
ivy without harmful aftereffects so
iyenrs. then suddenly become allergic
to it.
- What should we do when we acci~
dently touch poison plants? We should
‘wash the exposed area with ordinary
bath soap. Better still, we should wash
‘the entire body with soap and change
to clean clothes.
If the rash occurs, we can use cala
mine lotion or calamine emulsion to
dry the blisters and relieve itching.
Lotions containing anti-histamines or
anesthetics won't do any better job.
Starch, soda or oatmeal “baths” cool
and cleanse the patient and help dry
up the rash. The application of cool.
wet dressings relieves swelling andl
furthers the drying up of the blisters.
Ointments, especially greasy oint
ments, only increase the itching and
shouldn’t be used. Neither should
soaps be used because they tend to ir
ritate the skin. ‘ ‘

Tt is best, of course, to avoid polun,‘
plants, In order to do this, you should
know what they look like. Poison ivy ‘
and poison oak are the vine and bush |
forms, respectively. of the same plant, |
The leaves of both the climbing and
bushy kinds are shiny green, turning
red and orange in the autumn., Each
leaf is made up of three leaflets. Near
the point where each leaf joins the
stem, small greenish flowers grow ln‘
bunches. Later in the season, clusters
of poisonous, berrylike fruits form.
The fruits are a dirty yellowish white
and appear waxy.
Poison sumacs can be spotted be
cause their red berries always hang in |
drooping clusters. In the non-poison
ous forms, the ciusters are dense and
erect. Sumacs bear small, greenish
flowers and have fernlike leaves which
are velvety dark’ green above and
pale beneath. The leaves of the trees
turn flaming scarlet, orange and pur
ple in the autumn,
Many popular misconceptions have
developed around poison plants. One
is that eating the leaves of poison ivy ‘
will cure or prevent the rash. This is
}not so and if a sensitive persons does
this he may get a severe rash about
his face and rectum. Misconceptions
‘about how best to treat the rash in
clude some potentially dangerous
“home remedies.”
Doc MAG Says:
1. Avoid exposure to poison plants.
Learn how to spot them and keep
away from them. Remember, “Leaves
of three, leave it be!” But remember
that you don't have to actually touch
the source of the poison to get it on
you. It can be carried by smoke when
the plants are burned and from the
plant to your shees and then to your
hands when you take your shoes off.
2. Treat your poison plant rash by
medically approved methods. Avoid
home remedies which maye be harm
ful.

Take your choice when you heat your home
electrically! There are various methods. Two
of the most popular are:
THE BASEBOARD HEATER: Small, neat, it fits
snugly against the wall, blends with any
decor. It supplies plenty of uniform heat.
THE HEAT PUMP: Automatic control gives you
the best of both winter heat and summer
cooling. You can just set it and forget it.
OTHER SYSTEMS are available, too. All types
of electric heat are flameless, quiet, safe and
clean. Their economy will amaze you.
Why put up with inadequate or outdated
equipment another year? Have your favorite
style electric heating system installed now
before winter sets in. Call your electrical
contractor. He'll be glad to give you details.

Social Security Reminder
Thousands of older men and women
across the country are finding that
they can receive some social security
benefits even though they are stilk
earning more than SI2OO a year. Mr.
Kirksey, Manager of the Albany So
cial Security Dstrict Office, gave these
examples of people from 62 to 90 years
old who found they could collect some
of their benefits,
1. A retired teacher took a part
time teaching position in a private
school. His total earning were $2400
per yeir. But he doesn't work at all
during June, July and August. He has
worked long enough to qualify for
benefits and he is now receiving them
for the three vacation months.
2. A woman now 80 years old work
ed two years under social security im
the early 1940'5. When she became
65 in 1946, she did not qualify for
benefits because she had not worked
long enough. In 1961, the require
ments were changed so that her two
years of work qualified her. She is
now receiving the minimum benefits,
S4O per month, She also found that
her income from investments would
not keep her from receiving benefits.
3. A partially disabled man took a
job as night watchman for S2OO per
month. He is receiving social security
benefits of SIOO a month. His wife,
’ who was over 65, gets SSO per month.
Their benefits totalled SIBOO per year,
‘His earning of $2400 per year caused
' $950 of the family benefits to be with
held. But SBSO in benefits were still
payable.
4. A man took an extended vacation
for four months, for which he did not
receive pay. He received benefits for
these four months.
Most people age 62 or over can fig
ure out if they qualify for any bene
fits by sending for leaflet number 23c.
It shows how much in benefits. if any,
are payable when they earn more than
SI2OO. When family benefits are in
volved (maximum is $254 per month),
earning may sometimes be as high as
S4OOO with some benefits still payable,
