I just don't understand......you hid in my bushes attacking me when I wasn't even looking! I didn't mean to touch you. Who ever would? But now, my poor hands and face are covered in your nasty little bumps....swelling my little fingers to look like little sausages, the itching is just to much to bear.
 When will this ever end? I've swam in an ocean of calamine lotion, shots, pills, oh I love you Benadryl.
You've over stayed your welcome and now it's time for you to go!



I checked online for some remedies.....Let's just say I was willing to try everything and anything. Baking soda, hot water...(don't advise this because it makes it ooze and spread more...) Dish washing liquid rubbed on it. That works but don't sleep with it cause you might rub your eye.....LOL
Bleach, vinager I tried these,  burns your hand and you smell like a itchy pickle! And one guy suggests Gasoline, Kerosene or paint thinner. Ummmm, I don't think I want to walk around and smell like the gas station all day and wear a sign that says Flammable No Smoking! LOL
The only thing that I found that works is a shot of prednizone, benadryl, alcohol rubs and dawn dish liquid.
Or as my hubby would say "That's why they make garden gloves....maybe next time you'll wear yours!"

Let's just say it's been a Bad week here at the Cord's. No sewing, no stuffing, no painting, I was able to sketch out some new ideas and some patterns inbetween alcohol rubs. So once this is over and my hand is better I'll have a bunch of new goodies. :)

Hopefully that will be real soon!!!
Thanks for listening to me whine!
Hugs~
