Which one of you bastards gave me poison oak?

Recommended Posts

I haven't been outside anywhere weird. Our cats are indoor cats too. Yet I woke up Saturday morning with a small bump on the inside of my left wrist. It looked suspiciously like poison oak. I scratched it in my sleep and now it has a line of small red blisters and looks exactly like poison oak. WTF? I haven't been anywhere near the stuff and I think it's not even in season! Which one of you did it?

Skinnyshrek's camper gave me poison oak! Don't let anyone lay on the floor near the chair until you get that thing hosed out. :D

just wash you're arm really well and apply a topical antihistamine (or take an oral one and it'll go away in a day or so...)

unfortunately you could have easily walked through it (the oils got on you're shoes) then later you touched the shoes and walla you have a poison ivy(oak) rash...

It is seriously impossible for me to have even walked through the stuff. I haven't been anywhere even remotely close to it in a long time! Many many months at least!

I'm thinking what might have happened is someone washed something in the laundry room we have at our complex and the oils weren't completely gone and got on my clothes or something. Either that or Scott Baio gave me pink eye.

That's a possibility... :| I'm really aware of poison ivy/oak as I used to get it really bad growing up... I learned all about it... you know if you come into contact with it and wash the "affected" area within about 2-3 hours you won't get a rash at all... :)

I've had a terrible history with it myself. I use Tecnu now whenever I go to an area where it might be. That stuff is great!

I got it so bad once when I was around 19 that I looked like Jaba the Hut. I missed 3-4 weeks of work and thought I was going to die. I had it on every part of my body except my cootchie (thank goodness!) Now I'm a lot more careful.

Here's a pic of what I have.

I think it would have shown up before now - it couldn't be one of us.

What was really infuriating to me was when adults (I didn't KNOW it either) weren't aware that swimming in a pool would not only help eliminate the poison ivy rash (because the chemicals in it dry your skin) but would not nearly spread the poison ivy to others... I can't remember how many times I wasn't allowed to swim at summer camp because I had it... when i reality it would have been tremendously benifical to do so... :S:|

edit: wrong use of "your/you're"

If you weren't such a slob I wouldn't have to clean the camper so much.

And Girfalldown, Are you sure you got Poison Oak? It might be Poison Ivy. I don't think Poison Oak exsists on the east coast. I got poison Ivy in Ga once before. I used to get Poison Oak when I lived in California. When I went to Dr for this Poison Ivy, he specifically told me that Poison Oak was a west coast plant.

It could be Poison Ivy. You are correct about the east coast west coast thing. I think the symptoms look exactly the same though.

I don't even really know if it's poison anything. It just looks, feels and acts exactly like it.

Been around any bom fires or anything? While dirt bike riding once, a buddy of mine got totally eaten up with poison ivy, they had been doing a controlled burn in the area we were riging in so there was not underbrush or anythin to speak, but some areas wee still smoldering and he was told that the oils could have been neing carried in the smoke even...
