to: Neocon from: truedog Re: poison ivy I am happy to hear that your son has basically recovered from the poison ivy. He is fortunate that the itching was not too severe. I have first hand knowledge of how bad it can be. In the late '50s, my tentmate and I were "given" the task of stringing wire from HQ company to all the other companies in the battalion.By the time we were were finished, it was pitch dark and we hadn't even been given time to pitch our pup tent yet. Being creatures of comfort, we felt around for a nice soft place and found one with some low growth that seemed a good place to sleep. When we woke to reveille, the top kick looked at our tent site and started laughing. His only comment was "you guys are in for it". Sure enough our entire bodies became covered with those terribly itching and oozing blisters. The doctor decided we needed the series of three shots to combat it but, his idea of giving shots was much like that of throwing a dart at a target. I am glad your boy was spared such an ordeal. The only thing that had a positive note, was that the shots seem to have given me a life long immunity to the nasty weed. Just some comments you might find slightly amusing. Regards, truedog
