Your pants, your shirt, and your gloves are your first line of defense from contact with poison ivy. Do not touch your gloves to your face or eat with your gloves on. When you get back to camp at the end of the day, we recommend you use your gloves to untie and remove your boots, then carefully remove your gloves and change out of your work clothes. Keep in mind that the oils can remain in your clothes, so keep them separate from your other gear. Once you’ve changed, wash from your elbow down with soap and water right away. If you get a poison ivy rash, let a crew leader know. All med kits are equipped with Tecnu, a poison ivy scrub designed to wash away the rash-causing oil from your skin.

Ticks can be removed with tweezers or a tick key. All CCNC first aid kits have tweezers for this purpose. It is important to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible and to make sure you remove the head. Your crew leader can help you; we've all been there so please don't feel embarrassed asking for help removing a tick! If you become ill, particularly if you develop flu-like symptoms, tell your doctor that you have been working outdoors in tick habitat, even if you have not noticed any tick bites - your doctor will likely want to test for Lyme Disease or other tick-borne illnesses, which are generally easy to treat if identified early. |
