I too thought I had little bug bites. Just moved into a new home, working out in the yard, clearing away old overgrown bushes, and the like. Thought I had mosquito bites at first. I had gotten scratched from some brush, and I've got bumps there on those spots and they have a liquid in them and itch like crazy. Now, I've got a small patch on my upper thigh and some more around my forearm. All looking the same, red spots, with a liquid inside. I don't know what I have, poison ivy, poison oak, or whatever!! I'm using Benedryl Gel topical lotion to stop the itch and that seems to be helping. Thinking of going out and purchasing Zanfel today.
I'm a little scared to use the same gloves that I had on that day. Should I get rid of them??? Have washed all clothing and sheets since then.
