Poison Control

If you spend time outside this Memorial Day, remember that a

run-in with a poison ivy plant doesn't have to make you completely

miserable.

Your best post-exposure defense against poison ivy is to remove

the residual oils from your skin as quickly as possible. Studies show that

even simple surfactants such as dishwashing liquid can help wash away the

rash-causing oils and reduce allergic response by about 50%.

RealAge Benefit: Protecting your immune system can make your

RealAge as much as 6 years younger.
