I've known newspapers to totally slant and even outright lie about things, so why shouldn't magazines do so too. :( Sad, but true.Dancing With Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493553137383118631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-70630498930207122122009-03-05T19:59:00.000-05:002009-03-05T19:59:00.000-05:00You could also try covering your itch with a combo...You could also try covering your itch with a combo of calamine lotion (I know I spelled that wrong) and Anti-Monkey Butt Powder (yep, that's the name brand...it's calamine powder and talc, I think)Buzzardbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755522048417416544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-61846207075171246152009-03-05T19:57:00.000-05:002009-03-05T19:57:00.000-05:00Thanks for the plug and I'm ever-so sorry about th...Thanks for the plug and I'm ever-so sorry about the poisin ivy. My Dad had a case so bad one time he had to go to the doc every day for a week to get shots (on top of the itch-soothing cream...ask a pharmacist as a real locally-owned pharmacy if they have a cream for chicken pox itching the itch-relieving is better). Dad's case was so bad because they'd been clearing the hillside and they were taking down poison ivy vine/wood that was 2-inches thick. He said they'd carry armload after armload and this milky stuff ran out of the cutting, down his chest. It worked its way into his bloodstream.<BR/><BR/>You did good getting checked.Buzzardbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755522048417416544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-43717175317745537292009-03-05T19:52:00.000-05:002009-03-05T19:52:00.000-05:00Anne:One of the things to watch out for, I've had ...Anne:<BR/><BR/>One of the things to watch out for, I've had it, is staph. When I went to see the doc, after a particularly nasty episode, he said, "The poison ivy has about run its course, but that swelling is a staph infection and that needs serious attention, stat!" I didn't even know I was sick.<BR/><BR/>Get better.<BR/><BR/>I don't know about WV, but I've been hearing that kind of crap about Nebraska all of my life.democommiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714733977927594559noreply@blogger.com
