Ustɛm wi fɔ go to dɔktɔ?

If yu gɛt ɛni kayn rash ɛn yu nɔ shɔ if na pɔyzin ayvi mek am, mɔ if yu gɛt fiva wit di rash , i bɛtɛ fɔ go to dɔktɔ. Sɔntɛnde, i kin bi bikɔs ɔf sɔntin we siriɔs pas pɔyzin ayvi. So, i impɔtant fɔ gɛt di rayt diagnosis. So, if yu dɔktɔ si se na pɔyzin ayvi ɔ ɔda plant we tan lɛk dis de mek yu rash, i go mɔs tɛl yu fɔ shaw kol .

Fɔ ɛgzampul, if di rash de ɔlsay na di bɔdi, ɔ if i gɛt di sik na say dɛn we pɔsin kin fil lɛk di fes, rawnd di yay, ɔ di bɔdi we gɛt di bɔdi, ɔ if i it, pen, ɔ swɛlin bad bad wan we pɔsin nɔ ebul fɔ bia, di dɔktɔ kin gi am antihistamin ɔ krim.

Dis ‘Poison Ivy’ rash de pas?

Dis na big prɔblɛm ɛn di rɔŋ we aw bɔku pipul dɛn de tink. Fɔ tɔk am simpul ɛn klia, di ‘Poison Ivy’ rash insɛf nɔ de pas. Dat min se if di wata we de kɔmɔt na blista kam nia ɔda pɔsin in skin, dɛn nɔ go gɛt di rash. So, nid nɔ de fɔ isolate ɔ distans yusɛf frɔm pɔsin we gɛt ‘Poison Ivy’.

Bɔt, na di impɔtant tin we yu nid fɔ ɔndastand: Yu kin gɛt dis rash we yu nɔ tɔch di pɔyzin ayvi plant dairekt wan! Aw yu no? Di ɔyl we dɛn kɔl ‘Urushiol’ de kɔntinyu fɔ wok fɔ lɔng tɛm afta i kɔmɔt na di plant. So, dat ɔyl kin transfa to yu bɔdi frɔm ɔda pɔsin in skin, frɔm di klos we dɛn bin de wɛr, ɔ frɔm di ikwipmɛnt we dɛn bin de yuz (e.g., gadin tul dɛm). Imajin, if pɔsin we gɛt pɔyzin ayvi tɔch yu bɔdi, ɔ if yu tɔch dɛn klos, di ‘Urushiol’ ɔyl we de na dɛn skin kin go pan yu skin ɛn mek yu gɛt rash.

Wan ɔda tin we denja na dat if pɔsin tray fɔ pwɛl dɛn ‘Poison Ivy’ plant ya bay we i bɔn dɛn, da ‘Urushiol’ (Urushiol) de go insay di ays wit di smok. Dat smok kin mek yu gɛt dis rash if yu blo am ɔ if i kam nia yu skin. So, fɔ bɔn dɛn ‘Poison Ivy’ plant ya nɔ sef atɔl. I kin ivin pwɛl di we aw pɔsin de blo.

Aw dɛn de protɛkt wi frɔm dis ‘Poison Ivy’?

Pɔyzin Ayvi kin gro jɔs lɛk ɛnisay – nɔto jɔs na big fɔrɛst, bɔt na yu yon bakyaad ɔ na di sayd we rod (espɛshali na kɔntri dɛn lɛk Nɔt Amɛrika, usay i kɔmɔn). I kin at bak fɔ si am. Bikɔs di lif dɛn fɔ dɛn plant dɛn ya we gɛt pɔyzin kin miks wit ɔda plant dɛn we nɔ de du bad ɛn dɛn kin luk di sem, dɛn kin ayd dɛn usay pipul dɛn kin si dɛn. Nɔto dat nɔmɔ, difrɛn kayn Pɔyzin Ayvi dɛn de, ɛn di we aw dɛn de luk, di lif shep, ɛn di kɔlɔ kin chenj difrɛn tɛm dɛn insay di ia. If dɛn krɔs wan Poyzin Ayvi lif, brus am, brok am, ɔ jɔs skrach am, di ɔyl we de insay di lif we dɛn kɔl Urushiol kin kɔmɔt. We dat kin apin, sɔntɛnde di lif dɛn kin luk shayn smɔl , ɔ yu kin si blak spat dɛn na di lif dɛn. Dis na sayn dɛn we de wɔn wi! Na da tɛm de di Urushiol ɔyl kin go mɔs pan yu skin. So, na sɔm impɔtant tin dɛn we yu kin du fɔ mek yu nɔ gɛt dis anɔynt Poison Ivy rash:

• Lan fɔ no bɔku pan di plant dɛn we yu ebul, lɛk ‘Poison Ivy’, ‘Poison Oak’, ɛn ‘Poison Sumac’. Yu kin fɛn pikchɔ dɛn fɔ dɛn tin ya na di Intanɛt. Luk fɔ sayn dɛn lɛk grup we gɛt tri lif dɛn ɛn lif dɛn we de shayn. Dis go ɛp yu fɔ de fa frɔm dɛn. (Tek tɛm mɔ wit plant dɛn we tan lɛk se dɛn de shayn ɛn we jɔs dɔn pul ɔyl.)
• Minimiz yu visit to eria dem wae yu no or yu saspek se poison ivy de. Nɔ put yusɛf na dɛn kayn say dɛn de we nɔ nid fɔ de.
• We yu de go na eria we gɛt bush ɔ bush usay yu tink se ‘Poison Ivy’ kin de, mek shɔ se yu wɛr lɔng sliv shirt ɛn lɔng pant. Put sɔks ɛn sus. Dis go go fa fɔ mek yu skin nɔ kam nia di plant dairekt wan.
• If yu pet dog ɔ pusi we yu lɛk kam bak frɔm waka na bush ɔ bush, was dɛn fayn fayn wan ɛn pul ɛni ‘Urushiol’ ɔyl we kin de pan dɛn fut. Bikɔs we di ɔyl we de na di dɔg ɔ pusi in fut tɔch yu, i kin go bak na yu skin ɛn mek yu gɛt rash.

Fɔ ɛgzampul, if yu padi de go na Nɔt Amɛrika ɛn i go waka na di bush, aw i go valyu fɔ tɛl am bɔt dis ‘Poison Ivy’? If i sabi di plant ɛn no aw fɔ tek tɛm, i go sev insɛf pan bɔku prɔblɛm.

Wetin fɔ du if yu gɛt pɔyzin ayvi na yu skin?

If yu fil wantɛm wantɛm se Urushiol ɔyl dɔn kam nia yu skin, ɔ if yu tink se yu dɔn kam nia dis kayn plant, nɔ delay fɔ wan minit, bɔt was di say fayn fayn wan wit sop ɛn wata we de rɔn kwik kwik wan. Dɔn, tek wan gud shawa. Dis na wan tin we rili, rili impɔtant. Bikɔs if yu was kwik kwik wan, yu kin pul di ɔyl bifo i go insay di skin.

Nɔ ɛva was insay tub we gɛt wata! If yu du dat, di ‘Urushiol’ ɔyl go miks wit di wata we yu de was ɛn i go skata to ɔda say dɛn na yu bɔdi we nɔ bin dɔn de bifo, ɛn dis go mek di rash wɔs. So, i bεst εn i sef fכ tek ‘shawa’ כltεm.

So, wetin na di men tin dɛn we wi fɔ mɛmba?

Okay, wi don tok plenti abaut ‘Poison Ivy’ nau. A tink se yu dɔn ɔndastand am gud gud wan naw. Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, na siriɔs alɛji we kin apin na wi skin bikɔs wi kin kɔntakt plant dɛn we gɛt wan kemikal we dɛn kɔl ‘Urushiol’. So, na sɔm pan di impɔtant tin dɛn we wi ɔl nid fɔ mɛmba:

• Yu fɔ no ɛn nɔ de nia pɔyzin ayvi, pɔyzin ɔk, ɛn pɔyzin sumak, mɔ we yu de waka na say dɛn we gɛt tik dɛn.
• We yu de go na say dɛn we yu tink se dɛn kayn plant dɛn de go de, wɛr lɔng klos we go kɔba yu skin fayn fayn wan. Na fayn we fɔ protɛkt yusɛf.

• If yu gɛt sɔm sayn dɛn lɛk fɔ gɛt rash, fɔ it bad bad wan, ɔ fɔ gɛt blista, mɔ if yu gɛt fiva, mek shɔ se yu go to dɔktɔ ɛn nɔ de te.
• Poison Ivy insɛf nɔ kin pas pɔsin. Bɔt no se di Urushiol ɔyl we de na di plant kin go na yu skin ɛn mek yu gɛt alɛji if i kɔmɔt frɔm klos, ɔda pɔsin in skin, animal dɛn we i de mɛn, ɔ ivin smok we de kɔmɔt frɔm plant dɛn we de bɔn.

If yu no bɔt dɛn tin ya ɛn yu ɔndastand di rayt we, i go ɛp yu bad bad wan fɔ avɔyd di prɔblɛm dɛn we plant lɛk ‘Poison Ivy’ kin kam wit. Ɔlman tek tɛm bad bad wan!
