Oh, joy of joys.  I was pulling vines off the back wall of the new building yesterday.  Guess what I have today?  Yep.

I wore long sleeves, a jacket, gloves, and a hood, but my face was exposed.  I brushed hair from my face several times.  Today, I have the beginnings of contact dermatitis near and on my nose, near my eyes, and in a couple of other places.  It’s that ominous itchy feeling.

I’ve put some Ivarest on it, and that should help.  I’ve had to have a three month course of steroids to stop this before, so I hope I can keep it from getting started.  The proximity to my eyes and nasal membranes has me most concerned.  Yes, I’ll be watching it closely.
