I don't know what it is that happened this time. I have had heat rash before, but this is far worse than I have ever recalled before. And it wasn't all that hot while we were working -- low 80s. I think I caused it to get worse because I was doing a good bit of grapple work. When we were taking out the fence, we would try to pull about 20 feet or so. Once I pulled out the fencing, I would have to drive backward to where I was putting all the fence, as I didn't want to run over the fencing with the tractor by driving forward. I guess all of the swiveling on the seat rubbed my skin raw, as I managed to remove some layers of skin in the process. It has been slow to heal since then.

Use aloe...straight from the plant if you have a aloe plant...or get aloe gel from the store....you can also leave it in fridge, feels wonderfully soothing. And helps heal quickly, good luck with your bummy :old :thumbsup
BTW...ask your gal if she changed laundry detergent ????

Now that, is a different thing. I have used some laundry detergents that made my underarm areas pretty itchy..usually the discount varieties and I always had to go back to powdered Tide for my work clothes, while wife uses something different for her clothes. Been many many times my clothes were so oily, grimy or bad I had to shuck them all off on the back porch before going into the house.

STA, I too, do all the grocery shopping, as well as all my own laundry, all the yard and property work and 99% of the cooking at my house.
Wife will help with the cattle if I really need it, but I prefer her not to be exposed to injury. It can happen really really quick.
As long as they are in the chute she can help but she isn't to go into the holding or sweep areas.
