Tecnu works ok. Nothing's better than a hairdryer

When I was a teenager I was super allergic. Sometime in the 1980's they came out with a shot that was suppose to boost your immunity to the oil. About a week before our family summer vacation I got my first inoculation.

They didn't realize I was so allergic that the single shot alone made my skin freak out...it was terrible.

They had that shot in the 70's! I used to have to get them yearly! The first year I got like 6....next year 5 and so on until I was down to the one and that was it! I used to get it so bad if I got it on my finger tip it would go all the way to my armpit! If I am even within a few feet of it I can catch it! Just had some 2 weeks ago...moved some wood with gloves on....got it on my forearm!!! I hate it! Nothing feels better than scaulding hot water on it.......saltwater always dries me right up!
