Bash The Rash

It was time to spruce up a rental property, which meant weeding, landscaping and painting. I went at it one day, pulling tons of weeds and unwelcome shrubs from around the house. I didn't think anything of it. The next day, I felt like I had some sunburn on my face, which was OK by me. The morning of the second day, I woke up looking like a monster. One of my eyes was almost swollen shut, and I had an itchy rash everywhere. While weeding, I had of course rubbed my face, scratched my legs and used the restroom.

At first I laughed because I looked so weird. Then the itchiness really started, and it frankly was very painful. I researched products quickly and set out to get some, settling on IvyStat. It helped with the itching, especially on my face. Unfortunately, the rash continued to spread and a prescription was the only option left. It is now day 7. Although my face is back to normal, my body is still itching and healing.
