Handy bits of new knowledge
Did you know that:
- poison ivy rashes last 14-21 days? (they’ll be coming to take me away, ha ha, long before that if this estimate is correct)
- the delay between contact with the ivy and onset of rash can be several days? (Um, I now know that it can be at least 3)
- you can’t spread it on yourself by scratching? (hallelujah!)
I can now rest easy that the misery I’ve been experiencing more than a week now I can’t pass onto my children if they bump my leg. That’s good. And I can scratch with abandon… ever seen a video of a bear rubbing up against a tree? I may have to go mano-a-mano against the bear to get a good tree.
