There goes the weekend.....

When doing yardwork in a partially-wooded back yard, try to remember the old Boy Scout Maxim:

Leaves of three,
Get them in your hair and
Rub them on your neck
Trying to dislodge them
Before realizing what they are.


Where does one find Cortizone 1000%? ::sigh::

Anithistamine cream works better than cortizone for this sort of thing. Look for Benadryl topical (or a clone). After 3 or 4 applications, it will give you relief. For that matter, I find taking an oral antihistamine helps a little, too.

Poor thing. *soothes*

I actually found this Zanfel stuff helpful with poison ivy:

I am so sorry - I hope it clears up soon. Oatmeal baths can also soothe (for a short time).
