ever been allergic to laundry detergent?

he did give me a prescription of 2 antibiotics, i woke up this morning with it in 4 more places on the back of my hands ughh

 

It sucks trying to figure out WTF its coming from. First, you gotta figure out how long it takes for you to see the 'rash' (for me, 2 days). And then figure out WTF you've come in contact with that might still have the oils on it.

When I found out what it was ....I swear, I wanted to clean everything off with alcohol!!! Cleaned out my truck, washed all my clothes, wiped off my shoes.... It's crazy!!

 

Yep. Took a while, but I figured it out right after basic training. Been using Tide only for the past 10 years.

 

Sounds like the oil from the poison ivy is in your bed or on your clothes. Wash all of it...twice. I hate that shit.

 

i think its on my mattress cause i took off my bed sheets a few days ago to rewash everything, but on the otherhand if its on my mattress any idea why its only on the back of my arms/hands and my right ear?

 

PILLOW!!! Do you tuck your hands under your pillow? Sleep on your right side? Awwww man, I feel so bad for you!

 

Yep. Have to use Tide Free without perfumes and dye. It's the only brand I'll use.

 

im gonna see if its my pillow, it takes 2 days for mine to pop up too, one day itll be small ant the next day itll rise and be itchy, i slept on the couch and got a few more small bumps, but we will see haha, thanks!

 

I'm not but my wife is allergic to certain detergents. We use" ALL" non-scented with no dyes. Its the only thing we buy and she has no problems with that.

 

Yeah been there. Certain bar soaps like Irish spring would get me when I was younger too. Still can't use most gell or clear deodorants either.

Welcome to the club.

 

good god...
That shit "with fabreze"... and snuggle dryer sheets made my life miserable last week

Went to the socal mini mod day and people were afraid to ask what the hell happened to me.
Whole chest and neck was irritated and red. got itchy hives on my arms too.
bad times.

 

You looked like a redneck zombie.

 

So you found some poison ivy with no leaves!-DID THAT TOO--the vines carry the toxin-DAMN-sometimes you just cannot win.
Sometimes-detergent and or soap w/LEMON will make me breakout too.-INTENSE itching.

 

Bingo!
Interesting article concerning the amount of detergent that is actually needed.

I hate you

 

If you drove home (after the PI burning) in your truck....it could be on your center console (where you rest your arm) or on the side of the door (where you rest your other arm.... on the seats....

If you touched the oils (hands) and touched your ear.....picked your nose (ouch)....scratched your....(nevermind)

 

im going to wipe down the truck with rubbing alcohol today cause i noticed im starting to get it more where i lay my hands on the wheel.

have you ever rubbed the actual bumps down with alcohol? it makes it feel better, i just havent got the prescription because im scared to death of leaving the pharmacy with the flu haha

 

Old thread....I know....

We're always so careful but......Fawk! Got this shit again. Worse than last year!!

2 weeks of hell and I've got it on every appendig (both legs, both arms, neck, hands.....).

I'm gonna stay away from anything 'green' !!!

 

We use the "ALL" brand with the "free and clear" version. My son has skin allergies so thats all we can use for him. Its cheaper than tide too
