Does bleach remove the urushiol oils or help heal the rash?
No. Bleach may appear to be a quick fix to poison plant rash. However, bleach removes the top layer(s) of your skin. Using it can
irritate your skin and in the process weaken it so that the rash may become worse, or it could lead to an infection. Your skin may then
become more sensitive to getting the rash in the future. |
