Here I am.
I'm holding out for a hero!
You know how you supposedly learn something new every day?
Today I learned that I can indeed get poison ivy.
This is the first time I've ever had it and I've rolled around in it before to prove to someone that I'm not allergic.
The pool is officially open! The water is cloudy, but not bad at all.
I've had it several times but it never amounted to anything more than a slight rash and of course itching. Some people are more sensitive to it than others. Just be sure to wash often and avoid contact with "little benny".
I've read a half of a dozen different web sites today on PI and apparently the rash isn't contagious. The reason people think that is because the oil in PI is so strong that it can stay on your clothes for a long time, so it can be spread that way.
That's very true. However, washing is still helpful because like you said the oil can stay on surfaces for a long time and you don't know where it may be.
Hope it doesn't get too bad.
go get some poison ivy soap!
The soap relieves the itching and the burn. We have always keep a bar of PI soap around cause once you got PI, you don't feel like going to the store and picking it up.go get some poison ivy soap!
