Rash question.. What the heck did I get into in my yard?!

[bobdavisga]

Poison ivy does not "spread"... cannot pass it from the blisters either... does remain viable on some surfaces up to six months. Likely just some poison ivy that got on your neck from wiping/rubbing the back of your neck

False! the oil left on the skin can indeed be spread by contact

apple cider vinegar wash in it

What Biker said, old remedy that works better then the $$$ creams,
another old Native American cure is to take a dirt daubers mud nest, make mud outta their mud nest, spread the mud onto the areas and sumptin in their spit dries up the rash.

Just an allergic reaction to what ever it was you were in contact with. Benadryl for itch and apple cider vinegar wash.

When you figure out what it was let me know, I want to avoid it! I got into fire ants one time was bad and got a hold of thunder wood once and try to avoid it like the plague! Good luck with it!

Biker13 is right. ACV will take care of it, but it'll burn a bit.

I’ve had it hundreds of times it is poison ivy, best thing to treat it with is tide or comet soap. This will work no matter how sadistic it sounds. Get in the slightly running shower with a clean dry wash rag then dip it into the dry tide or comet hold onto the towel holder then scrub the rash until it bleeds. It hurts like hell and you’ll yell and scream but guess what, it will stop itching and heel up in two days. And you do fill a little like John Wayne for living thru it. Then take your boots, shirt ,socks and t shirt you were wearing when you got into the ivy and throw it far away. It works it works, please let us know if it works for you, you’ll be surprised

looks like poison ivy to me. steroids takes care of it pretty quick, either oral or cream.
