This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 15, 2007:
OK, now please, please don't think I'm some kinda weirdo or sado-masacistic kinda person but something along the lines of this question occurred to me, just the other day in the shower.
I've recently come down with a case of poison ivy. At times I can be very susceptible to this sort of thing. I deserve it ... I mowed the lawn again shorts and flip-flops on, go figure. But in the shower the other day, while I was feeling particularly ichy I let some pretty darn hot water run on my lower legs and ankles where the poison was really 'gettin' the ich on'.
I can't descirbe in words the level of relief mixed with pain, mixed with what almost seemed like pleasure that I experienced. I know, I know, I'm weird. But what had me so surprised about it was the degree to which I experienced it, it almost made me dissy.
Anyway, that's it. This is one of the first times in recent memory that I've almost competely kicked poision ivy, on my own, without cortisone. I think I might miss it in a pshyco sort of a way.

Isn't this “hurts so good”? I can relate Frank and I do not think it is weird, but appropriate!
:)
I just got rid of a low grade case of the “Ivy” that I think I got from my cat. Took about two weeks to get completely gone. Good riddance, I call it. For relief from the itch, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
30 views for poison ivy… Frank, WE are the weird sado masochistic voyeurs, cause we all wanted to know what you were going to say next! LOL
By the way, did you know before hand that bath Poison ivy rash in the hottest water you can stand will stop the itch for about 4 hours, and make the healing go much faster. So if you itch again, soak again.
Wow I got comments too … on an article on posion ivey … wow … had to figure out what people are going to read … but that's what makes it so fun … ya know, I thought the hot water might have something to do with me kicking this bout without cortisone. Thanks!
