ACK! Poison Something!

[Miller1412]

Let me start by saying, I hate yardwork! It is not my thing. BUT...I went out with DH a couple of days ago to help him clear weeds and cut down some underbrush.

Now...I have an itchy rash all over my neck, cheeks and chin and it's itchy-sore and driving me nuts! Plus I look like a freak...
From now on, the flowers will just have to fend for themselves. Forget this misery.

Question: Why can you only use spray on Benadryl or Caladryl 3-4 times a day? What will happen if you use it more?

You poor thing DH & I rented a house at ANGOLA BY THE BAY in Lewes DE the year we got married. I got POISON IVORY. Even on my eye lids. I needed to go on steroids it was so bad. Benadryl should help. Some say lack of oxygen helps it heal but that may be a Old Wives Tale.

See a dermatologist. They can prescribe creams to take away the itch and bother that regular docs don't know exist. Good luck!
