Well, this is my first reaction...and it sucks! At first I thought that they were mosquitoe bites, then as they got worse Spider bites. But now it is pretty obvious, since all the bites have merged into a huge, itchy,hot painful rash. I had no idea that this would be this painful, so I didn't run Shrieking when I saw the plants. ( which I should have ) It took a few day after the trip for me to figure out what the problem was. Seems I must have gotten it on my shoes...and then sat on my feet around the bonfire. Here's a tip, Never sit in poison oak or ivy! This is a very very bad Idea.
If anyone could answer this I would appreciate it. but, how long does this take to go away? It seems only to get worse every day.It has now been a week since the camping trip,,do you really have to go get steroids or see the Dr. or will this go away on it's own? Mine keeps me from sleeping, and I didn't even get to sleep in late on a Saturday... :( |
