I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't resist.
It all started a couple of weeks ago when I was pulling poison ivy out of some areas I was afraid people might traverse at the nature center where I work.
I wore gloves, but didn't don long sleeves (too hot in July!). A leaf gently grazed my arm. It wasn't broken, so I dismissed the chance touch.
A small rash appeared on my neck, then another on my right arm, followed by second on my left.
Today fantasies involving the use sand paper or steel wool on these itchy patches began dancing through my head. What harm could a fingernail do? Just a little scratching here and there.
Ahh.. It felt better as I continued to rub, but I couldn't keep going. It wasn’t right.
Now the itchy sensation is creeping back, inviting me to keep scratching. I must stop for the night.
Do you know how to stop the itch?
