    It’s a more than an irk. A public servant who did not serve because it was almost four o’clock, leaving a member of a vulnerable population at risk.

    I had some sort of allergic reaction to one of the weeds I pulled.
    This evening when it cooled I went out very briefly and yanked out some vine (not poison ivy) around my deck.
    When I came in about 20min later I started itching.
    My feet, ankles and the tops of my hands.
    I lost my mind briefly while I scratched as hard as I could without breaking the skin for at least an hour.
    Miserable.
    It stopped and looks completely normal now.

    I thought it was going to itch until I scratched the skin off. 🥺
    It sounds like Virginia Creeper - i react to that as if it were Poison Ivy.
    Does it look like this?

    Also, I use tecnu poison ivy scrub after I'm out pulling weeds or picking berries where those vines hang out. It works great.

    I’ve never had a reaction to Virginia creeper but I always find it right next to the poison ivy
    Yes, I know people (my dad) who aren't allergic at all, but I react and itch like crazy if I brush up against Virginia Creeper - and it's all over my yard. 😭

    Just as I’ve been finally feeling over my ex and yall know I’m talking to someone new…. Ya he popped up at work. Another coworker? Yes but this one is the one who told me to apply here.
    But it’s really not that dramatic tbh. I feel kinda numb. I always played it up more dramatic in my mind.
    Oh well! The earth continues to turn and I’ve got things to do. New people to kiss
