Worse Than the Chicken Pox

Just MY Daily Rant

Last Sunday I went for a walk. It was quite damp out, and there was longer grass, so naturally I rolled my pants up. Not a good idea. I wake up Tuesday morning with Poison Ivy all over my legs. Somehow it managed to get on a few spots on my thighs, even. Not a pretty sight.

Then, last night I noticed my arms and thighs beginning to form a rash. Not cool. So, it's either from getting soaked in car wash suds, swimming in highly chlorinated pool water or this new sun tan/block lotion crap I bought. I'm guessing it's the latter, but no matter, my arms and legs itch like a fother mucker.

It seriously itches as bad as the chicken pox. I put aloe vera on my arms this morning, which soothed it a little. I think I'll sue Wal Mart for my pain and suffering from their fucking lotion crap. And maybe I'll sue the stupid park for having poison ivy in it. Or maybe I'll just keep scratching. It's finally warming up enough to wear shorts and a tank, and I look like i have leprosy. My mom said poison ivy lasts about two weeks. Oh, and the inside of one knee is sunburnt and hurts awfully. *sigh*

Wow! Two rashes at the same time! Somebody up there must really be pissed at you! Look at the bright side though: rashes don't scar, right? I'm actually not sure, as I've never touched Poison Ivy, seeing as how I rarely leave the house.

Poison ivy has no effect on me whatsoever. As kids my brother and I built a fort out of poison ivy. None of the other neighborhood kids could get near it lol

Sorry for you though. I had a severe case of shingles early last year that still causes a little pain and itch even now so I can sure relate to how you feel.
