going to be tough to get to the doctor's over the holiday weekend. will get the technu and throw some extra shock in the pool and spend some time in there. i put bleach on it once when i was younger and it worked, but hurt and probably isn't all that healthy.

maybe i'll take some of my dog's prednizone, the wife would (a nurse) would love that.

What did you think of the course, aside from the mud

It was fun. I expected harder obstacles. Mud was a bit over the top.

Another vote for steroids and anitbiotics. Last summer I tried to "wait it out". Bad choice, by the time I finally caved in and went to the doc I was covered from head to toe (including the one area where you DO NOT want it). Had scars all winter that just went away.

The meds clears it up really quick.

remember:
one last thing about healing your skin....

your body definitly requires vitamin B to do the job

unfortunately
alcohol leaches vitamin B right out of your system
and is one of the big causes of a hangover
(the rest is due to "beverage of choice" impurities)

Brewers yeast (the nutritional yeast)
is very helpful in this regard and that is how
i discovered it.... actually, as it turned the tide of the
poison ivy infection around in two days so that it was
rapidly retreating as good as the steroids work.

or eat some banana's as Karl likes to say

Never had it myself...thank god
Jewel weed is supposed to neutralize the PI oils when exposed. My backyard is full of the stuff....grows in areas often not far from the ivy itself.

Channel 4 just did a piece on that Warrior Course and that MANY participants are still suffering the resulting rashes.... How's yours, Josh? I'd be pissed......

whom ever approved that course that was obviously loaded with POISON IVY is a complete Moron
