Poison Ivy

lV»is<)H ivy i- lixiiul cvfrywIiiTK flinmnlumt llif I'loviiicc iiiid rvcryitiic

Hcach iind ••Iscwhcn' is -poiird liy not rccouiiiziiiK the thnc waxy uncii
|( •v«'M whith mark this plaiit as diffrrcnt from all others, 'i'lifvc ilirce h'aves
hunRdown from erect stems six inches to a foot hiKh. usually tlirc, from a
woo<ly root stock. It iloes not climl. in this Province as it diM's in tin- Ka>t and is
M'ldom over a foot IukIi. l>ut in our parks and luitive Muffs it is often thicker
than the wild strawherry. The rooi is woody and touxh iis leather, and
can be pulle*! out of the uround in hmm strinns. and this i- the Lest way to
eradicate it.

The flowers form a tiny white cluster in the axils of the leuf-.-^tocks, and
these turn to greenish-white herries with meridian lines. The berries stay on
the plant all winter and any part of the plant is jxiisonous if broken. The
usual poison is, n<» doubt, from shoe laces which have strii)ped off the leaves in
passing through them, and the hands thftt luce the shoes transfer the jjoison to
the face.

The poison is insoluble in water and so washinn only spreads it. The
hands should be washed in methylated spirits, strong soap or hyp./ *uli)hite of
soda usetl in iihotoRraphy. The druKRists sell sugar of leail <lissoived in alcohol,
but this is a i)oisou and should be kei)t from the eyes.

Covvbane

The most poisoimus member of a
poisonous family — wild parsnii)s (water
hemlock), etc. It is a low f?round, marsh
perennial with branched roots (wild pars-
nip has a single tap root) and the tiny
flowers are white and seeds oval, little
larger than a pin head. It is in flower
from June to August. It is sometimes
called water hemlock (that Socrates
drank), or beaver j)oison or spotted cow-
bane, or children's bane (bane n.^ai
doath). Many cases are reported in the
papers of children being poisoned b\
chewing the root. (Jarden parsnips left
in the ground through the winter are
believed to be poisonous, but they are
not. Reported cases are usually trace-
able to the more poisonous cowbane.

Treatment: Use strong emetics at onci>
