Are you a gardener? I am and I love the way playing in the dirt makes me feel. It is relaxing. It closes out all of my issues and problems. When I am gardening, I am in a different zone. While zoning in my garden a few years back, I somehow happened upon poison ivy. However, I had no idea what a poison ivy leaf looked like. Throughout all of my gardening days, I had never researched poison ivy. I was aware that poison ivy could make one itchy and uncomfortable, I just never thought about it very much. Afterall that could not happen to me. Well, not until I actually lost the battle of the weeds.
Let me give you a little background. I had just moved into my house and the backyard was a mess. I made up my mind to make it mine. I worked in the yard pulling weeds, cleaning out flower beds and when the deed was done I felt quite accomplished. I went inside got a cold drink and hit the shower and that’s when the nightmare began. It was as if once the water hit my skin, it was on fire. I was whelping and itchy almost all over. It was awful. I tried Benedryl cream, I tried rubbing alcohol plus every home remedy I could think of. And each one failed to relieve the itchy pain and some seemed to make the discomfort worse.
I weathered the storm as long as I could and when I could not take it any longer, I headed to urgent care. That is where I was told I was having a raging reaction to poison ivy. I had waited so long until by the time I reached urgent care, I was not only itchy but wheezing and my right eye was almost swollen shut. An allergic reaction is no joke.
I haven’t a clue what the shot was they gave me, nor the IV they put in my arm and all I know about the cream is that is helped to ease my discomfort. But today, there is a remedy made especially to decrease the effects of a poison ivy reaction. Now you can treat poison ivy rash with www.buyrhustox.com and you will know exactly what you are using.
