Title: it appears i have poision ivy.
Post by: birdymaker on June 30, 2008, 12:21:02 PM
problem is, there is no poison ivy around. started with a small bump in between my fingers. started spreading and then spread to the adjoining finger then one spot on the forearm of the opposite arm. i don't go anywhere, i mean nowhere, other than the occasional trip to the store so this is somewhat bewildering.

i have my doubts that it actually is poison ivy because i am highly allergic. every time i have been in contact with it in the past, i wake up the next day with my face swelled shut and have to go to the hospital.
so i am at a loss. :-\

Speaking of which, there's a dude sitting at another table from me who looks just like Rob Halford.

You should go have yourself checked out, before things start falling off on a man

Got any pets?  Dogs are great carriers.  Oil gets on their fur and BAM, you got a dose.

Any chance it could be something similar like poison oak?
Or maybe you brushed up against some good ol' fashioned itch weed?

wore widespread than just poison ivy. also remains active for many years after plant 'dies'.
any chance you contacted another potential source?

just about has to be something in one of my flower beds. i got 5 yards of topsoil in the spring. where i planted grass i just used lawn weed killer. but the flower beds that i put some in i have been weeding by hand.
