Poison ivy sucks!










Seriously, where else can he get this stuff?? Tonight we're at Best Buy and I notice the kid is scratching his butt. I think OH NO, please tell me he didn't get it on his butt too! We get home and he's getting ready to soak in an oatmeal bath and sure enough, he's got a couple little blisters on his butt! Gosh child, keep your hands off everything! Salem had to pipe in and say, "now all he needs is to get it on his legs and feet". Ugg, NO Salem, NO he does not! Unfortunately there's not much more we can do for him. He'll get over it...eventually! They say day 4-7 are the worst, and that in theory he should not be spreading it. We've cleaned his fingernails, but somehow he still has some of the oil somewhere, cause I know his butt didn't get near any of the plant. Gonna have to find the kid some very lightweight pants and long sleeve shirts for the next time we're out in the woods. I gotta say I'm suprised this is the first time any of us have gotten PI from geocaching!
