Last Saturday after suffering with poison ivy for nearly 3 weeks, I finally felt all of my spots were dry/healed enough that I could use sunscreen without risk of spreading it. So I applied sunscreen and wore a sleeveless shirt out to do some weeding and wood chipping, At some point I noticed the weed whacker and thought I could do a bit a weed whacking ahead of mowing on Sunday. Less than one minute into the whacking, I realized I had previously seen some poison ivy in the area I was working so I stopped but not soon enough.
Fortunately, I was still on the steroids so I tolerated this round much better. Hopefully I have learned my lesson. Craig has gone on a Poison Ivy massacre three times now. Fortunately he is much less sensitive to it than I am.
