Tanning with Poison Ivy

May 23, 2007 at 1:49 pm · Filed under Tanning Bed Questions

Dear TanningBeds.org,

I have Poison Ivy right now. Is it still safe to tan. I tan weekly usually and now I wonder if the UVA rays will help heal or if it will make it worse. Thanks in advance for your response.

Dear Monica,

I would NOT tan if you have poison ivy! Wait for it to heal. Poison Ivy, and or the medicine to treat it can make you photosensitive.

You might just be ok, then again, you may swell up like a toad. More than likely, you will react negatively, so just wait.

Dennis
