I've got poison ivy again, and it really stinks. I should be sleeping now, but it's bugging me, so I'm up relaxing before I try to sleep again.

- two little patches on my left side and arm. I know exactly when it happened: I was mowing the lawn on friday (wihtout a shirt) and there was a branch sticking over the back fence and it hit me in that spot on the side before I realized what was happening. I was more careful after that, and I came inside and showered afterwards.

It was just over 24 hours later that I first noticed the spots. They started to break and ooze today around noon.

I'm going to see if I can gut this out a little longer, but I might be off to the doctor for immediate (24 hour) relief. We'll see.
