Wow David... what a horrible experience at a young age.
I've had poison a few times before but never this bad, I was treated before in the same manner as now prescribed by my family physician, shot and Prednisone. I still believe its residual urushiol on something that's behind the fair ups on my hands. Last night I rewashed the bed sheets and cover as i have done each night plus wiped every conceivable surface with cloroxwipes that I may have come in contact with, including the car. ? When this is over I'll be rewiping to rid all the calamine lotion evidence left behind.. ?
