Anyone able to interpet what this sentence means??

------------------------------------

Well to note probly additional urushiol is rapidly exuded in order to help
protect the plant after any tissue injury.....



She/he should pay attention to the fact that the plant (poison ivy) will
give off a lot of urushiol (what makes it poison) when the vines or leaves
are damaged in order to protect itself. Sort of like the white or red blood
cells (can never recall which it is) in our bodies fight an injury, scrape,
cut, etc.

Does that help?
