Poison Oak sucks

I got into it somehow this past weekend while cleaning the undergrowth off my property in Botetourt. Saturday I felt fine, even most of Sunday, but then Sunday evening it started setting in. Now my legs itch like mad!

My shins and calves drive me crazy at times. Luckily it has stayed in that general area with only a few dots elsewhere. I've been treating it with Calamine Lotion, but I tell you, it only helps so much. I know what Poison Oak/Ivy looks like and I thought I had stayed away from it, but I must have brushed against some unknowingly.

The upside is that the lot looks much better, and we're going to try to keep it that way. Maybe I'll post a picture from up there once we get the last little bit of work done. I need to go back up there with a wood chipper and a weed sprayer to finish the job. We are still hoping to build there some day.
