i was so allergic to it i didn't even have to touch it, i'd get it from petting the dog who was probably in it. i was the only girl allowed to wear slacks to school as it oozed all over my legs. please go to the hospital if it gets worse... that is sometimes required.
This is me too. My grandmother in Fergus Falls was confined to bed with it for two weeks way back when!
And I didn't realize what I had for over two weeks, even went to the dr the second week, until it clicked that we were taking care of a dog that had belonged to my uncle (he had just passed away) and they had lots of poison oak around there. Then I used Calamine lotion and that took care of it. It had started on my left foot and steadily moved up my leg until it had reached my thigh! I can guess how you are feeling now. Good luck with getting rid of it.
