I've been poisoned!
Oct. 17th, 2007 09:14 am...By poison ivy, that is. Or poison sumac, or oak. Possibly all three, given my luck!
My wrists, elbows, chin and hands have been steadily breaking out in a rash since Sunday. I think it must have come from handling the equipment on Saturday's dig. I asked my roommate, and he assured me that the regular dig site indeed has all three poison varieties growing there. Damn urushiol oil. I've even got it on my palm! it doesn't seem to be spreading too fast, which is good, but this morning, my left eyelid is looking puffy and strange.
Please, please spare my face, poison ivy god! Take my hands, my arms, but leave me my face! The last time I had urushiol oil on my face, my eyes and lips swelled up and I looked like a frog. 'Twas not pretty. And poison ivy rash just looks gross anyway.
*Sighs grumpily and tries not to scratch*
