As I sit here itching with this stuff and my right eye swollen almost shut I am looking for some help.
The past few days I have been clearing some brush from the back of my property. Yes, I knew there was poison ivy back there. I thought that since it was still early spring I might be able to get it cleared before the buds and leaves came out so I would be fine.
First few days of working back there I wore long pants, long sleeved t-shirt and gloves, no problems. Tuesday was in the 80's here so I shed my long sleeved t-shirt while working. Now I have poison ivy on both arms and must have rubbed around my eye at some point.
It's not inflamed or any open sores and for the most part Caladryl Clear has been helping keep the itch to an almost tolerable level. (note to self: put a bottle of this stuff in GHB).
Any tips or hints on how to survive the next few days better than I'm doing now?
