We went to the lake Friday. Had what looked like a long burn mark on back of my hand for a couple of days. Saturday morning, we went out on the boat.... my hand started blistering in the sun....and I knew it was poison ivy. No itching, blisters are nearly gone...but I feel like I have the flu....kinda mopey.
The last time I got into P.I. was over 30 yrs ago. And I was told I had it inside, before it showed itself outside. I had to take steroids. It's been so long ago, I can't remember much about it. I do remember the first time that I'd gone to the Coast and weeded my dad's yard a week before. I thought I was just a little "sad" because I had to leave my dad's. Never dreamed it was P.I. causing that feeling. Finally started seeing blisters all over my legs and arms and went to the doctor.
I'm concerned I haven't seen the worst of it yet this time. The "mopiness" just came out of nowhere today. Just want to do nothing....
Has anyone else experienced this with poison ivy? Or am I just a whiney baby???
