I'm a bit grumpy...

I'm about. I'm not enthusiastic, but I'll get over it.

What happened was while mowing the lawn, I hit some Poison Ivy, and the wind carried lots of little flakes of stuff onto my clothes.

Which I didn't know until much later. That it was Poison Ivy.

So now I'm here covered with lots of little red spots and a desire to scratch. The doctor gave me a steroid, which can boost my energy, but my wife won't deal with me.

Argh.

Sorry to hear it. I read somewhere that vinegar mixed with baking powder will calm the itching immediately and neutralise the poison ivy barbs. If you have any in the house, make a thin paste and slap it on the affected parts for immediate relief.
 
My wife basted me with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and hot pepper,,,pain went away, but I'm a little iffy about basting my feet and legs
 
aw man...that sucks.
do ya remember where the ivy was?
i would uproot that thing.
 
It's a couple of acres. I have some 18 acres to deal with. Uproot? No, I can cover it with a tarp until it dies....or dose it with chemicals,
 
Eeek, that is not good dude! Have you tried calamine lotion? Caladryl sells a clear version that isn't that sickly pink.
