Summer is a time for outdoor activities -- many of us will spend countless hours hiking, camping, and swimming the next couple of months. Whether at a campsite, park, or in our own backyard, the great outdoors beckons to spend time under the warm blue skies and cool starry nights. Along with these outdoor excursions, we're bound to come into contact with a certain 3-leafed plant that is also enjoying the summer -- poison oak, poison ivy poison sumac. These plants can leave an itchy, bumpy rash within a few hours to days after touching the skin. And, the more we come into contact with these plants, the faster the rash comes on, and the previous areas of itchy rashes can return, thanks to the immune system's memory with this type of allergic skin rash.
