5 MYTHS ABOUT POISON IVY
Getting Poison Ivy can really put a damper on a camping trip. What some people may not realize is there are a lot of myths floating around about these poisonous little plants that may change the way you look at them and the rash they cause!
myth #1: Poison Ivy is contagious to others. This is certainly a myth since the reaction comes only from contact with the urushiol oil from the plant's leaves. If the rash is cleaned and free of that oil, then the rash is not contagious!
myth #2: Once allergic, always allergic. Allergies and sensitivities change over time and even from season to season. If you were allergic as a child, you may not be allergic as an adult and vice versa.
myth #3: Itching will spread the rash. This brings us back to the explanation of myth #1: if the rash has been cleaned and is free of urushiol oil, itching the rash will not spread it.
myth #4: Dead poison ivy is no longer contagious. Urushiol oil can stay active on dead plants for a long time: up to five years! It can also stay on surrounding plants for this long, not just poison ivy!
myth #5: Besides complete avoidance, there is no way to prevent a poison ivy rash. Studies have proven that certain creams can be effective in preventing rashes if applied before contact with the urushiol oil. So if you're planning a camping trip or a hike, pick some up at your local pharmacy just in case!

Guided Bike Tours
 Are you a guest at Normandy Farms and interested in a complimentary guided mountain bike tour? There are 23 miles of trails looping through the adjacent state forest. The biking is rather challenging so you would need to be experienced in technical trail riding and have your own gear including a mountain bike (not a road bike), repair kit, helmet, and water. Not recommended for children under 18. All tours are based on the availability of a guide and are weather permitting. Click here to request a tour.

A message from our Concierge...
In fall, New England is famous for its glorious foliage as billions of leaves change from green to a  kaleidoscope of colors. The air is crisp and cool - perfect for camping, hiking, biking or a good old day trip along back roads, where farm stands are piled high with crunchy apples and orange pumpkins. Fall is also an excellent time to see the New England coastline area - weather is often still warm and beautiful, and the summer crowds are gone. It's a perfect time to walk the beaches, explore antique shops, specialty boutiques, and get the best table on those dockside patios. You'll find beautiful fall colors here too, even along the roadways. We welcome your visit to the Business & Information Center where are Concierge will help you plan your visit to some of our fall favorites! Let us know of any particular areas you would like to v isit by clicking here and allow us to coordinate all of your requests. We'll even have an itinerary waiting for you upon your arrival.
