Does anyone know what could happen if my child accidentally ingests urushiol? Could it kill him?
I just went to the Dr and found out the rash I have was caused by poison Ivy/oak or sumac. I must have come in contact with it while pulling weeds in our yard [new home]. I had no idea I might be pulling poison Ivy and not just an ordinary weed. I also had no idea poison Ivy came in so many forms.
I just want to know how careful I need to be with our son in our new yard and to what lengths I need to go to to eradicate the poison Ivy from our yard.
Thank you.
