Coffee anyone ?

91* here right now @5:35 pm. I know how a frozen burger feels when put into the frying pan

4 days of this --- then low 60 days again. Crazy!

I’ve had a red, itchy rash on my shins all week. Poison ivy lotions don’t work, burn gel helped a little. Actually I think it is poison ivy but a secondary infection scandal has begun. Puppy gave it a sniff and made a face. Antibiotics indicated. Any home remedies for p.i. are welcome. (Maybe I have the Texas version, heck maybe I have fireblight ).

Aside from jewel weed, Idk. I use oregano oil for antibiotic though

Best Work Day Ever!!!!

We have a k-kup coffee maker at work & they (usually) keep it fairly well stocked with various makes & models of coffee.
They replaced the hot/cold filtered water dispenser in the break room the other day with one that also makes ice.

Yesterday I realized that I've now got almost unlimited access to ICED COFFEE!!!!

Don't think it was me, but this was in my emails:

PI is an allergic reaction so I take an antihistamine when I start itching.

How about a baking soda paste?

If not oozing, I would try some zinc oxide ointment. It's the basis for diaper rash cream without baby powder added. A good pharmacy might carry it.

A like and an informational. Antihistamine already inbound. I wondered about a freak case of shingles . No blisters though and on both shins. I’m starting a mild antibiotic with dinner. I did try ground fresh dock weed and peteyfoozer I haven’t found any jewel weed or squaw weed. They should be here but no where I have looked. I have had luck with honey but messy and melts off. I’ll see how the antibiotics do. I’d avoid them but the rash is cranberry colored (cranberries maybe?) and spreading.

This is from @Baymule

I have a bottle of clorox water. Th same bottle I keep in the kitchen for cleaning LOL. I spray it on poison ivy and I don't break out. If I get a rash, the clorox water stops the itch.

Not sure of the ratio, hopefully she will comment soon.

I hope you get better quickly.

I mix it half and half. I’ve even poured Clorox straight out of the bottle on my arms. A little extreme…… LOL
You can soak in a bathtub with a couple cups of Clorox. Pat dry then spray affected area.
