Day 5.246: Poison ivy
Flickr user Vilseskogen
This is not my leg, but it kind of looked like that.
I first noticed an itchy red patch on my leg at the beginning of last week. I assumed it was mosquito bites and tried to ignore it. It was several days later I inspected it closely enough to realise that it was weirder than that.
Eventually, while trying to work out which insect had bitten me, I discovered a picture on the internet that looked just like my rash. That made it seem better, but it still itched like crazy for over a week.
So - poison ivy, not insects had been my undoing. I guess it may have been at Ooms on Labor Day. In any case, it's basically fine again now much to my relief and not a moment too soon!
