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.

Ordering info - ie where you get it from.

Perhaps I could just take it during the summer months then.
Ah, ok. I'll find out that catalog's name but you can get it from Amazon: Link [amazon.com]

I only take it in the summer months but some people I know take it year round. The sap inside the plant is actually more potent during the winter months but you have to break open a stick/stem to be exposed to it.

I was seasoning some jerk chicken once and forgot to wash my hands when I was done, and scratched my balls. Man, that was a TERRIBLE couple of hours.

I don't think the words Jerk chicken and balls should ever be in the same sentence Bigeye

When I was 16, I must have found some poison sumac a few days before I took the SAT. After taking the test with the sumac all over my body (and I mean ALL over, so yes I understand, Rammy), I sat in a car for 10 hours to go on vacation. After two more days (thanks mom!) of the chlorine from the pool and salt from the ocean doing nothing to dry it up, I finally went to an urgent care and got a shot of steroids - by dinner that night it was totally dried up. On an interesting note, I did get my highest score on the SAT that sitting Smilie

Since then, the only time I got poison anything was this past Memorial Day when I had a line of it down the side of my face. It went away in about 3 days and never really spread from there, but it did ooze the orange stuff, so it was a good excuse to work from home woot.
Steroids are the best. They give you a relatively small dose for poison ivy, but it still makes you feel like you could run through a wall if you've never takent them before. I was given a dose once in college, and I played in an intramural volleyball game later that day. I was all over the court like a madman.

Safe to assume most guys that have played sports have similar experience with heating rubs like Ben Gay ... you only make that mistake of not washing your hands very thoroughly once! Bigeye

No, that's happened to me, it's not even close! I use mineral ice frequently (I have a chronic cramping problem with my legs). The seasoning I use for my jerk chicken is MUCH hotter.

nod The bad thing is that water makes it worse EEK! I tried washing it off once (the trainer in HS got a bit too close to the children) and it made it hurt even more.

Same here, except it was cutting up habaneros for chili - when I was done I went to take a leak. Man that burned. I've touched my eye after cutting up habs as well - that hurts even more, but doesn't last as long.
