Channelling the Creature from the Black Lagoon...

The scabby mess that is my nose (no M, you don't get pictures on this one) tells me that I am healing somewhat. But the more I ponder it, the less I think this is a systemic allergic reaction.

Why would something I took internally manifest in rashes on my left wrist and shoulder, both thighs, and the right side of my face? It sounds more like contact dermatitis to me. What did I tangle with, I wonder? The poison ivy isn't up yet, but perhaps the dog brought something similar home on her fur.

She is about thigh high when she brushes past me, and I've been wearing shorts lately, because the weather has been nice.

As for the face and shoulder, I've decided I've got to stop hugging that dog, at least until the plant life dies down next fall.

You know P, I was going to ask you if you had been out traipsing in the woods lately? AND, if you think about it - if you posted pictures, then someone MIGHT be able to tell you what it is!!!! I was thinking in medical terms, not "we're going to laugh our you know whats off when we see you" terms!!!!!!!!!!!!
