Garden Porn and the Freakish Aftermath that is my Body
A comedy article

I decided to do some gardening over the Fourth of July weekend, mostly because I feared the weeds in my long-ignored flower beds were going to eventually cover the house.

I had some initial success.



Boosted by the easy fixes, I decided to tackle a long-lost section of our driveway. It's on the north side, and as such, is constantly in shadow. Some broad-leafed wide-reaching plants had filled in places where the stones used to be, and rather than take the time to clean it out before it became impossible, we had just resorted to driving around that portion.
For reasons that will become very clear, very shortly, rather than the back-to-stone section I had envisioned, the corner looked like this when I was through:
It wasn't because I was lazy, but because after spending a half hour yanking our weeds, I noticed this:

Remember that old saying, 'Leaves of three, let them be?'

Well, I now have a new quote to help all those who don't pay attention to what they're ripping out of the ground until it's much too late:
'Leaves of three, get oozing pustules all over your knee...'

and hand...

and breasts.
(Not pictured because I'm a hideously deformed freak.)
Let me give a warning - don't touch your boobs while playing in poison ivy.

This is the first day that these have appeared - I'm assuming it's going to get worse.
Any tips on how to survive? Strangely, the red gooey rash isn't itching much. Yet.

Oh, hey, my sympathies.
The area around my house is pure botanical Darwinism. The fittest weeds kill out all the lesser weeds as they duke it out for dominance of this ecological niche. I'm half afraid some new species will develop and be declared endangered.
As it turns out on the North side of my perpetually shaded lot the poison ivy has been muscling its way to the top. Yesterday we took a spray bottle of weedkiller and tried to tip the balance in the favor of non-rash producing breeds. Just after we had carefully sprayed the plants down we wanted dead with weedkiller my three year old bolts out of nowhere and runs through the weeds while wearing a pair of shorts.

My garden, on the other hand, is just a dog Shakespeare wasteland. German shepards sure can poop like a damn poo factory.
If dog crap could be sold I'd be richer than Trump.
Ok, maybe he ain't that rich, because he doesn't seem like he can afford a decent wig... err toupe? (don't know the english word)

Embrace the transformation.
Soon you will look like this.
I guess the reason you didn't mention the vajayjay itch is because that is nothing new?

I've always been immune to poison ivy and been called over to friends' houses to pick and remove it. I'd like to offer my services to help you. I could come over and hold my hands over your boobs to protect them next time you garden.

The correct english translation would be "eviscerated badger."

Whoops! Ouch! Do you have calamine lotion?
Whatever you do, Undies, don't burn poison ivy. My grandfather accidentally burned some with yard debris and he and my younger brother both had poison ivy all over their bodies.

Jewelweed is widely thought to help the rash. Mash the weed and apply to the rash.
Spray with a deodorant containing aluminum, which most have. A prescription is the fastest to get rid of it.

Well, it didn't start to itch until around 10:00 tonight, which happens to be the exact time that both Walgreens and Rite-Aid close. I ended up going to Walmart, and they had 2 remedies for sale - the regular ol' Calamine lotion, and a Band-Aid brand spray. I bought the spray, and hey, it shoots calmine lotion. So I now have pink spots all over my body.
What is interesting to me, is that people on the internet describe poison ivy itch as the worst thing EVAR!!!11! and most of what I have feels like a really annoying mosquito bite.
Except for the spot on my hand (pictured above). It never bothered me at all until tonight, at which point it started BURNING with a passion of a thousand suns. I seriously wanted to dig the Froster out with the edge of my debit card, which was the only object I happened to have on me at the time.
Now that I'm feeling better, I'm thinking about spraying the Calamine lotion all over me to see if I can make myself look like the pink ranger.

Yo Undies! I've got a long & ugly history with the 3-leaved devil, and after a recent altercation, I searched for poison ivy on target's website, (they're the closest store & I was headed out of town).
I forget how to do the linky thing, so when you search, you'll find some Cortaid product, "Poison Ivy Treatment Kit" or something like that. This stuff works like nobodies business. Within a day of putting it on, all those lovely, oily postules had dried up & were on their way to going away.

On a completely unrelated note, could you not trim any of the bushes by your windows? And if you come up with a penis-safe remedy for poison ivy fill me in asap.

Ha! We actually have a clone-a-willy kit. I won it last year - it was in among the basket of vibrators that John sent. We haven't used it though.
Honest.

Even worse is breathing it in. People die from that Shakespeare. Seriously, can you imagine having the rash inside you lungs?!?
BTW, bonfire at Bayan's tonight.

Growing up, I would get a nasty case of poison ivy at least once a summer. You'd think that would have inspired my mom to clean up our weedy Shakespearehole of a yard, but I think she secretly enjoyed my suffering. The absolute worst is when you get it between your toes or fingers.
Anyway, my mom would soak a cotton ball in vinegar and dab the rash with that. It burned like fire for a minute, (she did like to see me suffer!) but it always made it completely dry up and go away.
