Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

How's the blistering today? I sure hope you're not in too much discomfort.

Answer 3

Oh I hate that I got into something the other day. Benadryl and calamine lotion and catching it early is the key

Answer 4

Hydrocortisone 1% ointment. A little dab on each blister should do the trick. And quickly. It's over the counter so you should be able to get it at any grocery store or wal-mart. Good luck.

Answer 5

Leaves of 3. Leave them be. =0{

Answer 7

Now I am going to get it

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

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.

Answer 10

I picked some up on my legs, sharing your pain. Break out the Calomine lotion.

Answer 11

Lucky you!!!

Answer 12

Oh no! I hope it goes away soon!

Answer 13

Makes me grateful for natural immunity! eeeek! that's looks itchy!
