We have it in WV.

Jan-- Houston must be miserable now! At least here the humidity is around only 14%, but then I'd definitely trade that for some rain.
The insides of the one I really want to get to are really gunky. Did the alcohol cut through a lot?
Editing to add, that is such a neat little machine, just beautiful.

I like the alcohol - cuts through a lot - careful of your finish

Hope this works (fingers crossed)!

Miriam,
Try Aveeno oatmeal, found with the bath section stuff. It's soothing and does help the itch after soaking in it.
It a package of what looks like edible oatmeal that you dissolve in warm bath water. If it gets worse - Medrol pack from your doc.
I'm allergic too and both kids. We used to get it from our golden retriever when she would go over the hill and then come home and swish that big tail on our legs. Took us a while to figure out how we were getting it and hadn't been in the weeds!!
Hope ya dry up soon!

I learned on a hand crank sewing machine. Mom took it away from me when I sewed my finger. Had to use the FW after that. I think I was 4 or 5. I sewed on the dress I wore to first grade but couldn't write my own name - didn't do kindergarten - it's probably what's wrong with me...
poison ivy is not as weepy as yesterday - kind of crusty though
