Poison ivy

[wellyes]

This is the downside of early spring.
I woke up with a patch of it on my wrists. After a day of careful hand washing and no scratching (I thought!) it is on my arms, face and behind my ears.

I
am
so
itchy
!!!

Oh NO.
So sorry. Hope it heals soon!
(The title of your post made me itchy... I can only imagine what you're going through!)

I feel for you (with my horrible allergic reaction to sunscreen this past week.). Being itchy is such torture.

:hug: DS fell of the path while we were walking at our local nature park last weekend. We didn't realize he had hit a bit of poison ivy until I saw the blisters the next day. Luckily, his was just a tiny bit on one arm and one hand.

I am so sorry. Hope it goes away quickly.

Ugh, I am so sorry. Don't hesitate to go to the doc. DH had bad poison ivy last year and waited too long and it went systemic. It was bad.

Instead of scratching, turn the hair dryer on hot and aim it at the patches. Totally works like scratching!!

I got PI from doing yard work once and I haven't done it again since. :p

Hope you're feeling less itchy soon, and that the PI doesn't spread any further.

Oh no! That's awful. I'm super sorry. Oatmeal baths are marginally helpful . . .
