I've joined your "itchy & scratchy" club. Not to your extreme extent though. Pulling thistles yesterday in between rain squalls. Only on the "thistle pulling hand & arm" though. No poison ivy or sumac out there. Must be a reaction to mutant thistle barbs.
Pass the calamine lotion.
How's the blistering today? I sure hope you're not in too much discomfort.

Ugh, how awful! Thankfully, I've always been immune but I'm never too confident that that won't change for me. I have some agave that will reach out and zap me good if I'm not respectful enough, so I have an idea of the nastiness you're dealing with... I hope it passes quickly.
Bummer, I've always been immune, so that's nice. I am allergic to at least one variety of pampas grass, I've brushed up against and gotten welts in the shape of the leaves like a photographic negative. We've got giant hogweed here, so far I've avoided contact. The county has warned us that it can cause severe burns and blindness.
I picked some up on my legs, sharing your pain. Break out the Calomine lotion.
Makes me grateful for natural immunity! eeeek! that's looks itchy!
