OK, here's my next suggestion :D Since you run your own business, I am going to assume you don't have a couple days to spend in the chlorinated pool! So, to get two birds with one stone, how about filling the tub up full every night and putting in either epsom salts or a cup of chlorox and soaking away a little stress whist easing some itch and drying some rash?? :-D :-D .
I'll have to say, I don't get it nearly as bad as I did as a kid. I have memories of my mom dressing and feeding me when I was 6 because my hands were so raw and swollen I couldn't hold a fork :cry: I will say, the elastic waist bands on my corduroy pants was the best itcher ever! But I haven't had it in years, maybe because I'm not sensitive to it anymore, maybe because I'm not out running around in the woods anymore!! I did get rid of a huge patch out back year before last and I don't recall any blisters. The Round-up made for woody brush will kill it, just remember, even dead plants still have the oil..so kill it and find somebody else to clear the dead plants away!! Whatever you do, DO NOT BURN IT. The oil is carried in the smoke and will affect anyone who comes in contact with the smoke, even a mile away! Eyes, lungs...it can put you in the hospital.
Try to keep some humor..this too shall pass.
