As for itching, maybe I should take benedryl. I've got a misery
making case of
poison ivy. Both forearms, left hand, right elbow, chin, left
cheek, and it's
all itching like crazy, oozing and misery making. I'm sure I got it
when I was
lying on my belly in the woods taking a picture of a very small
mushroom last
weekend. I never saw any poison ivy, but this is definitely a
poison ivy rash.
I know from experience. I was more concerned about ticks, which I
checked
myself very thoroughly for, and found none. I'm not happy right now.

If you have poison ivy, you should very likely be taking prednisone or
get a prednisone shot. Check with your doctor.

Benadryl can be awfully short acting for something that is going to
last a while.

And if I remember poison ivy correctly, especially poison ivy in
August on the very humid east coast, you don't want it lasting any
longer than absolutely necessary.
