Rhus Tox

If you are familiar with homeopathic medicine, you know full well what jumped up and bit me on my nature walk. And it wasn't a wasp.

It was


Yes, poison ivy!

I think this because it started as a wide swath of raised bumps along each ankle, then they began to itch and spread. It's up to my shoulders but began at my feet. So I am guessing poison ivy and not chicken pox but last time I thought I had poison ivy it was chicken pox (just this same time last year) sooo I guess I should check with a doctor.

I also got 16 ticks.

Et tu, Mother Nature?
