I NEVER remember until it's too late. If I have the smallest contact with poison ivy, and if I don't immediately scrub my entire body with Tecnu (which is a game changer), It will go systemic.
Case in point, I brushed my left arm against poison ivy last week and didn't notice until there was a pronounced bump and a diagonal line of tiny bumps right next to it.
Right now, my arms and legs are a mass of red lines that look like I've been cutting myself. My fucking underboobs are red and inflamed. Doctor called in a prednisone prescription and I'm coated in hydrocortisone spray.
I hate summer.

@MizFidd@beige.party Called in sick once from a bad encounter. Boss was an ex-marine and thought I was slacking. So I came in the next day and they sent me home. I had gauze on both arms leaking yellow fluid. Side of my neck swollen on the left side (lots of gauze) and oozing. They said come back in next week.
