The fact that I escaped the rash is an amazing feat, definitely worthy of being chronicled. I had a bout of it earlier this summer, so maybe Nature decided that I had suffered enough.

Week 37
It turns out that on the hike last week, Darien contracted a case of poison ivy. I am clear. We had been hiking in shorts and had to go through a stretch of the trail that was being encroached upon by vegetation. I have her on a regimen of "summer gel" (a concoction mixed up the a local pharmacy) to try and minimize the irritation.

No better, no worse.

Hot update: It may be chiggers and not poison ivy. I can't believe I let her live with me in the house the past week.
ReplyDeleteNo maybe. It's chiggers. I think they only have them in the south. GROSS!
