My testicles are annoyingly itchy, have you ever had poison ivy on a sensitive area?

I've become terribly allergic to poison ivy to the point where when I get a touch of it (like this) I have to get medication to take care of it because my body won't fight it on its own. I'd say of the last 5 times I have been to the hospital for something non-routine, 3-4 times are attributed to poison ivy. I can just brush up against it and it'll soon spread ~48 hours later ... doesn't bode well for my mediocre golf game.

While landscaping around the yard this weekend, I must have gotten near a bunch of poison ivy and it started on my forehead (wiping my brow) and my eye (very annoying, puffy like a bad hangover), and has descended the to wonder nether region when I must have adjusted myself (sue me, I'm a guy).

Commence with the mockery, I'm providing you a golden chance to make "Rammy's balls are so itchy..." jokes until someone locks the thread. Begin.

Anyone else having a hard time accepting that Rammy has any "sensitive areas" as proclaimed in the thread title?

If anyone ever comes up with a "Co-ed Naked Landscaping" t-shirt, I'll be the first in line.
I saw this once in my horticultural department. . .one of the graduate students was wearing it.


I also read through this to see just exactly what I posted on the first go round. . .something completely off topic.

Mental note: if I get something that looks like 1-2 angry small spider bites, its probably poison ivy that'll wreck havoc in that area in about a week. Ranting

btw A friend of mine recommended "Teknu" as a method to wash the area to remove the oils. My only problem is that how in the world do you know if you get it on you? (prior to those first few bumps that appear?)

The only reason I know this is because I rubbed up on some plants last weekend and had to google it as soon as I got home to make sure it wasn't poison ivy laugh out loud

Did you normally rub your testicles on plants?

I have not had this particular problem, but I have had a very tricky issue with superglue that I may be willing to discuss, given the right set of circumstances.
