re: ever get the double-whammy of chiggers and poison ivy at the same time?

Yes 2 weeks ago. Went and bought one of those 100 dollar yard pools. Filled it and dropped some chlorine tablets in it. Would sit and soak in it in the afternoon drinking beer. Helped dry all that crap up.

Starting about this time until now season I’ll always have poison ivy, oak, sumac somewhere on my body at any given time.

Never had chigger. But caught Nutria itch and poison sumac at the same time.. I was fricking miserable couldn’t sleep in 2 days nothing helped. Was stuck at the hunting camp building duck blinds for Teal season. Could not wait till my feet hit hard land to run to the urgent care. I never wanted a shot so bad in my life..

My worst experience with poison ivy was being in the woods around it one day, and being in a 90 minute Catholic wedding two days later. We wore wool tuxes with tails, like in the picture below (No top hats). We stood up in front of everyone for the whole thing.
