srry to hear that

While not as bad I ended up getting a papercut when opening a Christmas card on my left hand web in between the thumb.

Bloody killed and made it hard to game >_>

aw shit.

This happens to me too, I'm overly allergic to poison oak. So much so, I get it just if I have contact with the fumes from the plant.

Yeah, I went to the emergency room twice (primary care physicians really book it out of the office come holidays) and ended up getting prescribed some epic dosages of steroids and Benadryl to alleviate the swelling. Thing is, I didn't even know it was poison oak until the second trip there this morning. Before they just blew it off as some generic rash and tossed me a prescription. Last night, I laid in bed and waited for the worst... I seriously expected to go temporarily blind, it was so swollen. And needless to say that scared me shitless.

Damn, you really are sensitive to poison oak, srry. When I was younger and living in Pennsylvania, sometimes for fun I roamed the heavily wooded areas near my house with my brother, and got exposed to poison oak a few times, hands and face! But the worst I ever got from that, was just a skin rash that went away the next day. Now, the one thing that really kicked my ass, was poison ivy, that shit can cause first and second degrees burns on some people!

I never got Poison oak, but I get poison ivy nearly every year while doing yardwork. Sucks.
I feel your pain sorry, i've had it bad on my face a few times.

Ouch, sorry to hear that this happened now, of all times.

Might have been poison oak or ivy actually... I don't know if there's a discernible difference in the resulting outbreaks, but I thought poison oak was what the doctor said.

Sorry about that srry.
All I've ever been stung with is nettles.

Sorry to hear.

Sounds bad. You really should get rid of that oak.
