Wild Parsnip

Day #3 and I got lucky... the rash is going down no blisters! I did get some rash on my forehead too

Good thing you were not "answering nature's call" with that stuff on your hands

I think as long as you don't whip it out in direct sunlight you should be alright

Yeah, I notice the stuff on my arms gets worse with exercise and if I go outside... even now 72hrs later! How long does that last??? I'm going back with 5 gallons of RoundUp... I'm gonna show old yellow flower who is BOSS!

In my past experience it almost seems like sunlight speeds up the process, going both ways. It seems to make the rash and blisters worse going outside. But then once the blisters start to anti-inflame the sun almost seems to dry them out and scab them quicker. That's not a scientific explanation at all; just an observation I've made and think might be true. As far as how long it lasts, I've had blisters still there at 7-10 days. The inflammation seems to keep growing the first 2-4 days, then peaks, then starts dying off.

This makes sense. A lot of cyclic compounds have enhanced toxicity/effect in the presence of UV light.

Just went full throttle with a Medrol (roids) dose pack too... time for cocktail in the sun

Thanks for the push bowhunter15... the oral steroids knocked out the itch completely. I feel like things are improving now 96hrs post exposure
