Couldn't tell you when but one recent day I noticed my arms itched just a tad. Hmmmm, bed bugs? We just gotten a new comforter for our bed. I didn't think any more about it. Until the next morning, when I noticed the itchy places were starting to look....well.....a little like a rash. The NEXT day, I KNEW what I had....POISON IVY!
Been there, done that. At least twice in my history. "Well, at least it's just a mild case,"I told James. "I've had WORSE."
Yes, much worse. This one's been itchy but not unbearably so. Except for one night...at 2 a.m.
I'm pretty sure I must have met up with poison ivy on our 11 acres. I was out there with James last week, hacking grape and smilax vines. I guess there must have been a poison ivy one in there, too. Except seems like I should have a really, really bad case if our encounter was THAT close. Oh, well. I'm just gonna let it run its course. I bought some anti-itch gel Sunday, and that's helped.
Another day I'll tell you what it's REALLY like to have a yucky case of poison ivy!

I hope you get over it soon. I get it almost every year. It's hard not to scratch, but I've learned not to! Hope the itch medicine helps you.
I think the peak's passed. :-) Yikes, you get it annually!!?? Yuck! Thanks for your kind thoughts!
