Oh, wow, Bev! That sounds very painful (and I agree – doc needed a better bedside manner). I didn’t think about how burning the weeds could affect someone sensitive.

I’m not allergic to poison ivy, but I can relate to the rash. When I was pregnant, I broke out in a rash that ended up spreading across my entire body. Yep, scratchy and painful (it lasted a month because I couldn’t take some meds that would’ve stopped it quickly).

Thanks for sharing your story. Well written.
