If after exposure to poison ivy there is swelling in the throat, tongue and or lips, if the victim has a hard time breathing, is weak or dizzy, has blue lips and mouth, or falls unconscious, they could be having a very severe reaction requiring immediate medical treatment. Self-medication without a physician is never recommended, if you have an adrenaline kit, know how to use and are qualified, administer adrenaline as needed.' |
