| Someone please tell me what plant it was. I was pulling vines(sometimes with gloves and sometimes not(what dows a city dweller know)) growing on the side of my building(orange county upstate NY). These brown particles were flying around and in three places on my arms imbedded themselves I couldn't scrape them out. To make a long story short, this last week, I have had severly inflamed forearems and forelegs not to mention severe itching on those areas as well as just about every other area.My whole body is puffed up.Life this week has been hell on earth accompanied by sleepless nights spent taking very hot baths(to open the pores), then cold shower, then warm bath with oatmeal, and lots of scratching and a few benedryls(refuse to take prednisone)The hot baths were most effective followed by oatmeal. Anyway, does this sound like poison oak??? And the darn vines are now pulled off the building but still planted and hanging out. What should I do with them?. Thanks in advance to anyone who answers. |
