i know it gets hot out, but i hardly ever go in the woods without a long sleeve shirt and pants on. cuts down on everything. Picked up some light clothe long sleeve shirts just to go in the woods with.

I have poison ivy on my arm now. Had some on my legs last week. Who knows were it will show up next week. The joys of being in the great outdoors all the time.

Well, I broke down and went to the clinic this morning.
She said what I have looks more like a fungal infection than poison ivy. I thought it was weird too because I have never really had poison ivy and have always claimed to be non-allergic to it.
This crap has been spreading and it has been itching so bad I was about to go crazy.
I got a 6 day pack of prednisone and some horse pills to take. Should be gone in a few days.


I guess wrasslin with hogs and playin in mud will do it to you. Crock, remember last weekend when I reset the trap and said the mud was burinin the crap out of me??
Guess that is what caused it

I've had an itch that sometimes gets so bad I scratch till I bleed. It's on my arms,right above and below the elbow.It comes and goes,I started using Tenactin on it and that clears it right up and kills the itch immediatly. Asked my Dr about it once and he said not to worry about it. It is very tiny blistes at the skin pores.
