Poison Ivy

Today at about 6:34am I realized that I had my first encounter with poison ivy. I abrubtly woken by an itchy, painful frenzy circulating my ankles . . . I proceeded to itch them, but the itching only made it worse.

At that point I finally realized that the bumps all over my legs were not mosquito bites, but were instead a nice parting gift left by a poison ivy plant from a hike the day before. :( The welts/bumps have spread all over my legs from the knees down to my feet. Hopefully thiscalamine lotion will help. We shall see!

Here are some pics of it...but they do my pain no justice lol it's worse in real life!
