i've got poison....

[jj_jonathon]

...ivy that is!

the bastard has come back to haunt me...grr! this is what i get for helping my dad clear brush in the front yard (its 30 years of untouched wilderness) this past weekend...i got it really bad the last time i worked out there and helped clear out some of the "jungle" as well...last time i was covered....very very much so...it was nasty...this time its sparce...i was smart this time and didnt try to get a tan while working in it (wearing hardly any clothes didnt pay off, i tanned bumpy red...lol)...this time i had on jeans, a tshirt, socks, shoes and gloves! and ive still managed to get it on my stomach...lol...grr!...i hope more isnt going to keep showing up....

btw...poison ivy does NOT spread from scratching it...it makes it stay around longer and inflames it, giving you the option of leaving scars ...people think that poison ivy will spread, but in fact by the time it actually shows on your skin, the sap is no where to be found on you....people think it spreads because it doesnt all show up at once, it depends on the thickness of skin and how thickly you were covered in an area...

so right now im on benadryl *yawn*...lol...and ive sprayed me body with benadryl spray....this is the only way ive found to survive it and let it pass its course...but wow does benadryl knock you out...ive been fighting to stay awake for the past hour...lol...

this turned out kinda long, but i felt like sharing
