unfortunately, you and I should form a club ... I am covered from head to toe and wasn't even digging outside ... doc says I am one of those who just can't walk by without breaking out ... stay inside on windy days

Everything is oozing and it looks like I have catepillars climbing up my arms, back, legs and unmentionable places ... baking soda used as a powder is working wonders ... also anything that contains oatmeal is soothing and stops the itching ... have heard about bleach but I have raw skin and the pain would be terrible. Did try an oatmeal paste but it is soooooo messy ... I sure hope your predition of 10 days is a bit long ... am in day 8 and it doesn't look promising.

Good luck to you ... and me! ;-)
