How Can A Poison Ivy Skin Rash In Children Be Treated?
Yes, my son and his family live in Ste Genevieve Mo and have come in contact with poison oak or ivy when cutting down some trees in their yard. Now some of the other children are coming down with a rash that is spreading over a week after my son came down. What can be done to get it out of the carpet and furniture in the house.
