You should see my arms, they are complely covered in this rash, I am almost sure it is from poison ivy from when I was weed wacking the other day in some pretty thick weeds. Has anybody ever seen it where there are blisters everywhere, thats what I have. My arms and hands are covered in these giant tumoresque blister thingys, really crazy stuff. Usually when I get posion ivy, I just get a pink rash, not leperosy. I dont think my hand is going to be finding any stink holes this weekend .

Jarr,
it sounds like you are developing a significant reaction to it. allergies can wax and wane as you get older...although they usually get worse.

keep in mind you dont want that crap in your airways ( for obvious reasons). also, you need to keep the blisters and boils clean...dont want a nasty bacterial infection!

there are treatments for this to prevent and cure it....steroids are one...but there are others. good luck, drink plenty of beer and try not to scratch.

Yep, got the steroids from the Doc today. He said it was the worse case he has ever saw. I think I ran into some poison oak or something, cuz Ive never had this when Ive ran into Ivy before.

I'm immune to Poison Ivy. I go hiking all the time, most the time, I get lost and have to venture through the brush, shoulda had it plenty of times, but haven't. God Speed.

I'm immune to any booze having less than 100 proof...

Hey Jarr, wouldn't it feel nice to scratch something.

Good thing is, it hasnt itched too bad. The bad part is I work for an electric contractor and Im doing construction work all day, pulling wire, lifting MC reels, ect. So now my arm is all scratched up and my blisters were all busted. Seriously though, this s### is starting to look weird and freaky, I hope I dont have to get my arm amputated or something , I wouldnt get to post no more.
