I contacted PI from gardening about 6 days ago. It is covering my arms from wrists to elbow and spreading from there. Spots on my face, stomach, fingers, upper arm and behind one ear turning up, too. They don't seem to be as strong as a reaction as in the beginning which was a few days ago. I'm treating it with Caladryl, Zanfel and lots of V-C. Trying to hold off on a steriod shot if possible but may have to give in eventually. If anyone has any other suggestions, I would appreciate hearing any and all.

On another note, does a normal washing of clothes take care of that part or do I have to throw out what I was wearing? Also, should I thow out the nice new pair of leather gloves I was wearing? (Thank goodness I had them on!)

Thanks for any info and thanks for this site. Faith
