Recently, I was trimming some bamboo. Now I have a reaction between fingers on my left hand. I think it is from holding the bamboo...at first it felt like nettles, then after 2 days I have blister like bumps and my fingers are swollen. I once had a very bad reaction from clearing a (poison ivy) path to a potty at Girl Scout Camp! Could I just be super sensitive now?
I just took Dristan (anti-histamine) and put calamine lotion on my hand. I don't know what to do. Please help.
