Watch out for poison ivy
Poison ivy has 3 leaves. All parts of the plant cause itching dermatitis. It grows from the ground and wraps around trees. Once the oil is washed off, it is no longer contagious. There are many ways to get poison ivy besides touching it directly. Touching a pet who has brushed up against it, burning brush with poison ivy in it, and touching clothes which have touched it are common ways.
If you can wash it the oil from the plant off within 15 minutes, it will usually prevent it.
Topical cortisone, benadryl, and calamine lotion help for mild cases, but for severe cases, injectable or oral cortisone works much better. These require a visit to your doctor.
La hiedra venenosa tiene tres hojas. Todas las partes de la planta de provocar dermatitis. Crece desde el suelo y se envuelve alrededor de los árboles. Una vez que el aceite se lava, ya no es contagiosa.
Boxtruck donation to Haiti non-profit
This was one of those gifts that keep giving.
First of all, some county personnel will be happy because we kept getting written up for having the truck out in the parking lot.
Second, the local Medical Missions is happy to send down some of their valuable medical supplies in it.
Third, some good-hearted Haitians in Cap-Haitien will be happy, because their 2 other trucks were from the 60’s (this is an old ’94 model). Then all the needed relief supplies that they deliver will make many more people happy.
Fourth, it makes us at Emergicare happy to be a part of such a good work.
Tis the season for allergic rhinitis
Allergies are the big problem now. We’ve seen it frequently. People are up all night coughing, with inflammation in nostrils, coughing all night, itching in eyes, nose and throat. Some have difficulty breathing and wheezing.
The other day, we treated 7 patients. Typically, we treat allergic rhinitis with either long-acting or short acting injections. We do everything we can to get people back to work, and keep them from simply coming back in for same thing.
