Treat Poison Ivy
One organic method used to get rid of poison ivy is to pull it out by the roots. The roots must be disposed of; do not burn! Inhaling fumes from burning poison ivy causes far greater health problems than just the rash caused by skin contact. Another natural method is to get rid of poison ivy by smothering it. Smothering entails cutting it back close to the ground, then placing newspapers, cardboard, old carpeting, tarps, mulch or some other covering on top of it.
Once you identify poison ivy, especially if it is in your back yard, you will want to get rid of it, unless it is in a part of your yard that you and your kids can simply avoid. Unfortunately, trying to get rid of poison ivy can be difficult and dangerous, since the poison ivy plants often grow back and you run the very big risk of getting exposed while trying to kill the plants.
Poison ivy growing in your lawn can be potentially dangerous to anyone who stumbles across it. The rash and irritation that follows a brush with poison ivy can feel almost unbearable. But do you know how to properly get rid of poison ivy in your yard so that it will no longer pose a threat to you? And do you know how to get rid of a poison ivy once it’s created a painful, itchy rash on your skin?
The list of putative treatments for Toxicodendron dermatitis is as extensive as human imagination, and not a single one actually cures the underlying problem — that is, the allergic reaction to urushiol. Everything has been tried, from herbs to horse urine to gunpowder. While some of the remedies ease the pain and itching of the dermatitis, the only thing that actually cures it is time. That said, there are some things you can do to either avoid the itch or treat its symptoms. These methods fall into two broad categories: palliatives and preventatives.
