Diabetes is a chronic condition that is characterized by high levels of blood sugar (glucose). When we eat carbohydrates, our digestive system breaks them down into sugarâalso known as glucose. The glucose gets absorbed into the blood stream. The bloodstream delivers glucose to the cells in the body.
No, the poison ivy blisters are the caused by the body's natural allergic reaction to the plants. If the blisters break and ooze, the fluid does not contain the oil that causes spreading. The rash-causing oil, called urushiol, from the original contact with poison oak and poison ivy will continue spreading (unless removed) for the first one or two days. It is found in in all parts of poison ivy, oak and sumac plants whether dead, dormant or thriving.
During the summer, leaves are green and the plant grows berries. In late summer, the leaves turn red and orange. Like poison ivy and poison sumac, poison oak releases an oil called urushiol when damaged. The allergen is absorbed into your skin when you touch the plant. According to the University of California Agriculture & Natural Resources, only about 15 to 20 percent of people arenât allergic to poison oak.
