That must be how I got it. Mine turned into welts--looked like I'd been beaten. It itched horribly twice a day--I kept Cortisone on it at all times. While it's oozing, Calamine lotion is best. I did go to the doc, and she offered pills and a stronger Cortisone, but I knew it was on the way out, so declined.

Sigh... my garden will just have to do what it's going to do because I don't know what the weed was that did this and I'm not going near it.
Sounds like you may have gotten in to nettle( aka stinging nettle ,horse nettle)if you wash it in soap and water you spread it if you itch you spread it . Good luck I think though if you go ahead and treat it like PI it will help.
