The girls had been decorating their mudpies with 'weeds' when she come in contact with the irritant. tipperhttp://blindpigandtheacorn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-66448875361455014682013-07-29T13:07:39.970-04:002013-07-29T13:07:39.970-04:00Who knew?

Mr. Mosley has a bad rash on his skin and eventually the Dowager Lady Grantham knows exactly what the problem was: weeding rue in his father's garden."<br /><br />And I now I remember -- I saw that episode.

I am extremely careful and dress appropriately (long pants and sleeves, gloves, etc.) when I'm out in the woods in order to avoid the dreaded poison ivy, but never heard about phytophotodermatitis. Clearly clothing as a protective approach is important in the garden too!Lisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431245561712781037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-221933466419832382013-07-26T09:07:54.145-04:002013-07-26T09:07:54.145-04:00Katy, it seems made for a mystery.

It is so incredibly annoying to have an itchy rash like that!<br /><br />You new word reminded me of one of my favorite phrases: photophobic sneeze reflex - the sneeze that happens when you are suddenly confronted with bright light, as when you step outside into bright sunlight.KarenBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-49665003072915690122013-07-26T08:26:58.831-04:002013-07-26T08:26:58.831-04:00wow that is rather fascinating...esp with the susp...wow that is rather fascinating...esp with the suspected abuse as well...not going to test your theory on rolling naked at night...just in case there is still lingering oils...ha...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-43774287318640786362013-07-26T08:06:20.644-04:002013-07-26T08:06:20.644-04:00I discovered the same thing.

I thought I was getting poison ivy reactions every summer (that take two weeks or more to heal), even though I was careful not to handle it. <br /><br />My dermatologist recommended making sure your skin is not stripped of all natural oils. So milder soaps and Dove or Eucerin body washes. And then if you have dry skin make sure you have some kind of lotion on your skin. A protective layer before you come in contact. And then of course washing after.
