Mystery rash continues it's rampage.................................
After my (literal) brush with something (I know it isn't poison ivy, because I am VERY allergic to that and know what that rash looks like) on the side of the road on Saturday my body has kicked into high gear to rid the stuff from my system. Apparently, my behind wasn't the only thing to come in contact with whatever, and then I must have used my hand to wipe the sweat from my forehead. Got to be sure to wash my hat.
First the rash arrived, then the itching, handled cold turkey since studies have found a direct link between Benadryl and Alzheimer's disease. Now the puffiness has arrived, as the body calls in all of it's fighters to go to battle against the foreign body in my system.
I couldn't resist the photo opt to go along with the picture of my skinned knee from a while ago. All in the name of training. I am torn, wondering if I should go get my new drivers licence picture taken today, just to make people take a double take when they ask to see it. Probably not a real smart idea...But it could prove to be very entertaining.
Too bad it isn't the end of October. Can't you just see all the great things I could be for Halloween with an eye like that?

oh dear lord your eye looks painful!!
I love that you keep your sense of humour, even when things like this happen. You're a star.
Oh Lordy, benadryl and alzheimer's? You crack me up. I think a dose or two might be okay but I know there are a lot of "no drug" nazi's out there :) At least you know your immune system is working correctly.
I'm so sorry you got into something. You are amazing the way you take things in stride (pun intended!) :) Definitely wash the hat and maybe even your pack. If you keep picking up more, think about your shoes???? I'm fairly certain they were also at the scene of the crime.
Hang in there, Patty.
Nancy, This is one of those time where I would say I will get the last laugh if I end up being right, but since you might take Benadryl, if I am right you won't remember what I.m refering to so what is the point?
It is good that we can have a difference of opinion and still love one another.
Actually Dee it doesn't hurt or itch at all. The shock value when people see me is almost worth the irritating dripping as the blisters drain, and the lack of full vision. It is getting old though so I will be glad to get over it.
