What To Put on Skin Irritation from Trumpet Vine

Gardening is a lot of fun. It's relaxing and it's something that many people look forward to after a hard week because it soothes them and helps them to regain perspective. 

However, while gardening, people frequently encounter itchy plants. The trumpet vine is one of those flowering plants that's well known in North America for its itchiness. 

This plant has beautiful blooms, so many gardeners include it in their selection of flowering plants. However, the itching from this plant can be quite distressing. 

If you, a relative, friend, or one of your pets is itching because of contact with a trumpet vine plant in your garden, you can quickly remove the plant's oils from the affected skin.

Here's what to put on skin irritation from trumpet vine:





This also works for poison ivy and oak.
It's unscented, so if it's used on pets they won't spend time trying to lick it off to remove the fragrance from their skin.

Several plants defend themselves from predators by using a compound that's known as urishol. Urishol can cause itching and redness when a person or an animal comes in contact with that plant.

Whenever you're pruning your trumpet vine, it's usually a good idea to ensure that your clothing and other safety gear (like a cap) covers your skin completely. Always clean that clothing separately.
