You are welcome to join in and you do have things to say.
I just hate poison ivy. I keep breaking out in odd places. I don't know if it is from something that the PI touched or what ever. I'm going crazy with this stuff ever since the first week in July.
Miriam, when you go outside do you come in and take your clothes off inside out? The oils get on your clothes or whatever they touch, gloves, shoes, etc., and you can still get it from whatever has the oils on it. Like my daughter got it all up and down her arms from a lead rope I had used when I was cutting the stuff out on the trails with Buckshot and Mariah in tow. They were dragging the leadrope all through the stuff trying to eat it as fast as I was cutting it! Until you get over the stuff, I'd just change everytime I went in the yard. It could also be on any tools you have been using out there!

I can not imagine having all the broken bones on top of this mess. Ouch. I do have a broken toe but that's nothing.
It seems like it could be anything. Pillow? I'm throwing contaminated clothes out at this point. I'm wondering about the seat belt in my car. Sheets? mattress pad? quilt? Fels Natha soap & vinegar rinse followed by the sanitize cycle on the washing machine may do some good.
We no longer have to drive home from there before washing & changing clothes. (see blog below) I broke out again last night - under arms... this is just sssssooooooo gross. The Fels Naptha soap seems to do wonders followed by vinegar rinse. Itching is not optional.
