I was around 12 at the time and me and my younger brother went on a hike in the woods of a nearby island. I used leafs. That night I began to realize what kind of leafs I had used, poison ivy . Of course, the reaction also moved around to the front. It was about a week or so of hell.
Yes, if I don’t know the leaf is safe, I’ll use my left hand. LOL
OUCH!!! I had poison ivy on my shins. Very painful and people looked at me like had sores from aids. I wore long skirts for a while, which were in style at the time.
