I hope the drugs have kicked in and you’re feeling better, **treis**. [QUOTE=Risha] Stories like this make me deeply grateful that I’m apparently not allergic. [/QUOTE] I lived for 41 years without getting it and then I helped clear some overgrown shrubs at a friend’s house. Poison ivy or oak or whatever it was truly sucks. And I didn’t have it in any delicate areas. :eek: ---

I am lucky that I am not allergic to poison ivy. However, it is something that you can lose your tolerance / susceptibility to, so I can cautious in my touching thereof. As a kid, my father was deathly allergic to poison ivy. I soon found out I wasn’t. Touching it or inhaling it has never bothered me, so I would often _mow_ it for my father with my mover (hence making it airborne and inhaling it). ---

Well, I’m sure the SDMB is waiting with bated breath for the condition of my package, and I shall not make it wait any longer. The swelling went down tremendously, and is essentially gone. My balls still itch something fierce, but hopefully that will go away soon. ---
