I get it every shad season. I must get too charged up to remember to check what I'm walking trough... I'll say this; I've tried every over the counter med and they never work fast. I trhink all they do is make u more comfortable til it runs its course. An uncle who works at the DPW told me to wipe the area with full strength Clorox bleach and it was gone in 2 days. If its bad and starts to ooze get the shot from the doc or a RX for the steroid because if you delay you'll get it like I did, I looked like a maple tree during sugar season with the pus running down my legs-NASTY.

Somebody wrote about buring PI...Mikey and I had a barbeque in the Mt. Tom Reservation in the spring of 1990, and instead of using charcoal we burned wood!!!
Omigawd!!! I looked like the bear in Looney Tunes that got stung all over the head!!!
My uncle had me on 4 tabs of Benadryl every four hours...I still don't remember taking finals that year...somehow I got a 3.9 that semester, too.
The Bomba's get it bad!!! I still won't fish where Mikey fishes without being in full wader gear, and don't touch anything that even comes in contact with the stuff...what can I say, though...Mikey's a little more hardcore than me.
I'm sick right now...but I'm not itching!!!
Later,
Sick Rick
