SET OF RULES FOR POISON OAK Public Health Department Formulates Measures for Guidance of Campers Poison oak season is at hand again, with young and old California roaming the country districts during the summer months, and so the state department of public health has formulated a set of rules for combatting this unpleasant plant. Toxic condendrol is the forbidding name which designates the poisonous element in the plant, an element with such violently irritant properties that the slightest trace deposited on the skin is capable of producing severe inflammation. Don't get the idea that you may be one of those fortunate persons who are "immune" to poison oak infection. Experience and experiments indicate that complete immunity does not exist, and many supposedly immune persons have not only been poisoned by carelessly handling the plants, but afterwards have suffered attacks on slightest exposure. Many claim that they can be poisoned by even passing near the place where poison oak is growing. This has not been proven to satisfaction of health authorities, but they do know that smoke from the burning plants will carry the poison and cause severe infection. After coming in contact with the plant, measures to remove the poison are of primary importance. It should be remembered that at first the poison is on the surface of the skin and can be removed by thorough washing and rinsing, repeated several times. Careless washing, however, may serve to spread the poison. Ordinary kitchen or laundry soap which has an excess of alkali is best for the purpose, and hot water should be used. The soap should be applied freely, so as to provide or other combustible structures. SECTION 3. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation as owner, agent, tenant, lessee or occupant of any building of any lot, within the fire limits of the City of Anaheim, California, to permit rubbish, waste-paper, straw, rags, excelsior, or junk or any other waste or inflammable or combustible materials to accumulate upon any roof, or in any room, basement, hall, closets or light wells of any building or to permit dry weeds or grass or other rubbish to accumulate on any lot or premises nearer than 10 feet of any building or other structure within the fire district.
