I'm tellin ya, my heart goes out to all who get this all the time and are widely covered with it. I'm hoping this is my first and LAST encounter with poison ivy/oak/sumac. I don't even know exactly what it is I have. I'm trying not keep myself from buying the 40.00 zanawhatever cream, but that may be what it comes down too. I shower twice a day, I don't understand why it keeps spreading!!! I may ask if I can have a solumedrol shot tomorrow. Geeesh! I'm such a wuss!!!!
P.S. I NEVER gotten this before despite spending lots of time in the woods and weeds. So I was unaware I needed to be cautious. LESSON LEARNED!!! |
Yes, we do live and learn...you'll need to be able to identify the plant, so it can be avoided in the future. Sure hope you feel better quickly...I absolutely hated having poison ivy every single summer as a child...does a person eventually become immune to it??? I still do a lot of my own yard work...I have to tame the neighbors brush along our back fence too...hope I don't get it again...it's miserable!!!
