This past Sunday, September 12th, the New York Times featured Babylon Village in the its “Living In…” portion of the Real Estate section.  In it, our own Jim Netter, Broker/Owner of Netter Real Estate has this comment on the current Babylon Village real estate market:

According to James A. Netter, the broker-owner of Netter Real Estate, the 110 homes for sale range from an unrenovated four-bedroom two-bath 1897 colonial, for $229,000, to a four-bedroom four-bath stone-and-stucco contemporary with two boat and two Jet Ski lifts, for $3.5 million. The average price of homes on the market in July was $520,495. “There is a certain panache to living in the village,” Mr. Netter said.

Of those 110 homes currently on the market in Babylon Village, reporter Marcelle S. Fischler selected this one among the very few to feature in this article:

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!
