What Are The Ways To Treat Rashes On Arms And Legs Caused By Agapanthus Plants' Sap?
Have been working in the garden today cutting back and dividing agapanthus plants. Have just realised the sap they produce is poisonous and have now a red rash on my arms and legs where I came in contact with the sap. What can I use to sooth the rash.

Hi ,
There is hypersensitivity reaction in your body due to allergen (sap) . so don't waste time and immediately take pheniramine maleate tab ( avil )stat along with anti histaminic twice a day with rantidine for 3 days .
If the symptom aggravates like generalized rashes , etching , breathing difficulty , sweating , palpitation , chest discomfort etc then don't waste time and rush to emergency dept for injectable steroid , avil , beta 2 agonist if required and other supportive management .
Thanks n regards
