Feeling Itchy?  It’s poison Ivy time!

Poison Ivy                                       Poison sumac                 Poison oak     

These plants contain an oily substance called URUSHIOL that causes a red, bumpy rash in many people.

If you think you have come into contact with one of these plants, wash with soap and water  as quickly as possible.  If you do this, you may stop a reaction.  If it is longer than that, the oil has already penetrated the skin and washing it will no longer prevent the rash, but it may help reduce the severity.

Treatment  Options:

1. OTC  cortisone cream 2-3 times a day
2. Anti-itch lotion such as calamine lotion
3. OTC antihistamine such as Benadryl or Zyrtec
4. Take an oatmeal bath

But see the doctor if the over the counter products don’t work, blisters are oozing, or if you develop a fever of over  100° F

IvyBlock (ivyblock.com) is the only FDA approved OTC barrier cream.  Use like a sunscreen.

The key to preventing that rash is knowing  what these plants look like and the avoid them!

Biography:
I have been a Long Island resident for my entire life. Long Island has 2.6 million friendly residents in 97 communities with over 1,200 square miles of Island to explore. I have an in depth knowledge of many unique and wonderful neighborhoods throughout Long Island. My husband and I have raised our three children together and were able to explore with them many of the beautiful places this island has to offer. Now our children in turn share their childhood experiences with their families. After our children were all grown and on their own, I decided to do something I have a passion for. Making people’s dreams come true! That’s why I choose Real Estate. Buying and/or selling a home is one of life’s most important decisions. The person you choose to represent you should be equally important. Now more than ever in this changing market, this process demands the attention of a full time, experienced and competent real estate professional; a professional who will take the time to find out about your needs and respect them. One who quickly adapts to shifting market conditions to guide you and protect your investments. My goal is to be you real estate asset and resource for life.

The referral base this has built for me has been my reward for guiding, sometimes nervous, buyers to become happily involved in home ownership.

Home prices and mortgage rates are as low as they’ve been in years. Put those facts together and you’ve got perfect reasons to buy a home now. And if you are still not sure – here are a few more:

You can move your kids to a better school. At today’s cheap prices, you can get a nicer neighborhood, a better view, a bigger backyard, and the best school. All the things you wanted and couldn’t afford 3 years ago.

You can shop around. After being pre-approved you can feel the joy of being in the “power seat” since it is a buyers market. Just remember – it’s only a buyers market until another buyer enters the picture.

It’s a great time to trade up. If you’ve been wanting a larger home, now’s a great time to trade up. You can sell your home at a steep discount because you’ll be buying your next, larger home at a bigger discount.

All home renovations are on sale! Contractors are more available and willing to negotiate.

You don’t want to be the guy who wished, who should’ coulda. With money so cheap and prices so low, and more houses out there you can get a deal of the century – and these are the good old days we’ve all been dreaming about.

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? CALL OR EMAIL THE JIM NETTER TEAM NOW!!
