That's rough Jim. I can sympathize with the ...Gosh! That's rough Jim. I can sympathize with the yard work though. My yard and lawn are green in color only. Unfortunately, at this stage, the creeping charlies outnumber the grass. I haven't run into anything that will make the eyes swell and the skin itch, but if there's a plant that looks weird, I throw borax on it. In a day or two it gives up the ghost :-)<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>RayChurchmousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13521990026485330450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19795707.post-1152277574717300022006-07-07T09:06:00.000-04:002006-07-07T09:06:00.000-04:00You, sir, have a legitimate excuse for not posting...You, sir, have a legitimate excuse for not posting.

It sounds like you may have removed some of the ivy/oak/sumac as you were attempting to renovate the yard and in doing so, may have released a great deal of the plant oils that secrete on to your skin and cause the reaction to begin with. I doubt it got directly in your eyes, but most definitely on your hands/arms. I would imagine it was very hot and humid where you were, and maybe you wiped some sweat away from your face/eyes and spread it in that manner. Nonetheless, it is not good anyway you look at it! Good thing is, once the plant oils have been removed from your skin (through a rinsing or taking a shower ... you have showered since, haven't you James?) it will no longer spread on your body, nor is contagious (assuming its poison ivy). If you haven't gone to the doctor yet, I would recommend doing so. He will probably prescribe a tablet that is taken for about 5-7 days, which almost works immediately in dealing with the skin irritant. I know because it happened to me about 2 weeks ago. Get well soon...?Discipled by Himhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166951083543729038noreply@blogger.com
