Wetin na di sayn ɛn simptom dɛm fɔ dɛn spat ya na di bɔdi? (Sayn ɛn Simptom dɛn)

Naw lɛ wi si wetin kin apin we di pɔyzin ayvi plant we dɛn kɔl Urushiol, kam nia di bɔdi. Urushiol na rili ‘allergen’ , we min se i de mek wi bɔdi gɛt alɛji. Nɔto ɔlman kin biev dis kayn we, bɔt bɔku pipul dɛn kin mɔna dɛn. Sɔm pipul dɛn kin jɔs gɛt smɔl riakshɔn, ɛn ɔda wan dɛn kin gɛt siriɔs riakshɔn.

Dis riakshɔn kin bigin insay sɔm awa afta yu tɔch di plant, ɔ i kin tek 5 dez. Bɔku tɛm, i kin apin lɛk dis:
