Q for Ontarians and others

[dionysus]

Ok, nasty, but....
any guesses?

I don't have allergies, I just bathed the dogs so I'm guessing not fleas, I don't think bed bugs as I've recently stripped the bed and don't sleep in ones other than my own

I thought perhaps midges/no-see-ums because the likeliest possibility is something from the yard; so that or some kind of poisonous plant

I dunno. Thought specifically an Onrarian may know as it's bug-biting season/summer plants

heat rash.. poison ivy/oak, man sized spiders..

lmao, ya, I'm not stressed - i rubbed some hydrocortozone on

someone on my FB just said heat rash, not one id thought of

 

[TheAverageGuy]

the gal says hives, so dander, some random something blowing in the wind..
quick hit of benadryl will decide.. or... rub some dirt in it and walk it off ;-)

 

[dionysus]

nothing 4 stiff drinks won't cure, right?

 

[TheAverageGuy]

cures all ills, until the next day anyway ;-)

Just on one calf? Only on the inside? I'd guess some kind of contact rash. Are they little blisters or just bumps?

 

[dionysus]

Just on one arm? Only on the inside? I'd guess some kind of contact rash. Are they little blisters or just bumps?

both arms, mostly the one; nowhere else
just little itchy bumps that peel

Oatmeal is really soothing for irritated skin. Put some in a piece of cheesecloth, thin dishcloth or a clean cotton sock. Run under some hot water, give it a good squeeze, and "sponge" it on.

Only need one hand to spin the reels mate. Just cut it off.

My wife has this. She started to get it out of no where and went to the doctor and its sun/heat allergy. She got it about 5 years ago and gets it a few times a summer now. It came out of no where and has stuck around every single summer since

Not bites no heads ,you sir have prickly heat
Ice rapped in a tea towel and just dap the effected parts don't rub for at least 20 mins
They apply some Calamine lotion.

lol well, pissing down rain today and most of spring been cold or rain (and some snow) but last couple days were mid to high twenties
so went out and was in it all day, never thought to worry it
was blazing heat and no shade
now I know better

 

[helafast]

Hope it clears up quick. It's been so cold in Toronto there would be no chance of heat rash or sunburn here LOL I'm guessing you are in a part of Ontario that has seen the sun and heat this spring?

[TheAverageGuy]

Great summertime area, Barrie waterfront is rather impressive.

 

[bebo67]

Holy fuck that cracked me up!

 

[bebo67]

Have you been near any juniper bushes? It looks like the rash. Also maybe you had a reaction to the flea shampoo?

ya, someone else suggested that when i bathed the dog, maybe the shampoo or the dog dander
i strip down and climb in with him, much easier lol

end of day, probably never know - been using a cold pack, ill give it a day, if it's worse tomorrow ill go buy calamine, another day, the clinic

probably nothing much exciting

I took horticulture in high school. It def looks like Juniper. Stinging nettle is like needle pricks, and burns like hell. Like you would have shards of glass stuck in your arm. You should always have Benadryl on hand anyways.

ya, just never something had need of - i dont have allergies and i never get sick, like, not even a cold

Me too! It's been probably 11-12 years since I've thrown up-knock on wood, and longer since I've had a cold. I just get things like cancer and mini strokes!

You know, for all the things I've done.......climbing trees, hoping fences, snow boarding on a skateboard, skateboarding, body surfing, a few fights, jumping off high things, mosh pits. I have never broken a bone. I've had a couple of concussions though. One really bad one.

both wrists; one sprain, one 4 surgeries
tennis elbow
torn...w/e the bicep thingy is
both rotator cuffs shredded (thanks doggo)

Wowzers!!!!!!!!!!!! Your Humpty Dumpty, only put back together! Hahahaha. I had a bad dystonia attack that popped my clavical out, that was the most painful thing. Lasted a week straight, and I'm anti narcotics! So I'm surprised you didn't feel anything. I popped my knee cap out once. I didn't know whether to pass out or throw up, and yet I was so fascinated by it. Lol. It came out in a shape of a triangle. By the time I got up to emerg, the doctor and I watched it slowly go back into place. It was so weird and so so painful. I had a little tear in the pitulea sp? It did it again my sleep a couple of months ago when I was having a bad dystonia spasm. Woke me up screaming.

 

[dionysus]

surprised you didn't feel anything.

meaning, the thing I've never broken (clavicle)
back, obv the worst pain and still all kinds of effed up today, though the rotator cuff? mt gods, you could lightly brush against a surface and drop to the floor...i couldnt even imagine knee pain

toes, now,i break one, im all enh lol
