Que Lastima on the Gargoyle

[BAP]

Thank you Brian,
I will try the hot water treatment immediately.

[JC w KC redux]

briham,
I was out climbing with clink with those blisters after doing just that.
It lasts about 5 hours for me. I rinse it under the hottest water I can stand for as long as I can stand it.
clink took one look at it and said...you need to see a doctor dude.

Urine also helps sooth the poison oak rash.

I leave to you on how to apply!!

Yikes looks nasty.  I remember one time, middle of summer I crashed my mountain bike into a bunch of poison oak.  Tumbled and slid down the hill until my shirt hooked on a poison oak stump (that left a nasty poison oak stump scratch from hell).  I was covered and as I was struggling to get back up the hill with my bike and up onto the trail a co-working reached down and we grabbed each others forearms and he pulled me the last little bit up to the trail.  Two days later he had a perfect, rosy red, blistered hand print on his forearm.

I had just climbed Icarus or Deadalus, and Brad and I were making our way off near the caves.

Somewhere I took a PO branch to the chest (thanks brad). I thought nothing of it.

A week later Jenny is in bed scratching and scratching..

I had somehow infected her. Not being from around these parts she had zero clue what the rash was.

Lesson learned, I changed cloths at parking lot. And put in wash at home.

and they wonder why I don't climb at Pinns as much.    


Technu is my friend.

[BAP]

I am having a really really bad case.  My upper body now are covered with rashes, they look like chicken pox, and both my legs and arms. 
Munge,  I don’t want to go to Pinns for a while.   Better to go to higher altitude area.

I am so miserable now.

Damn, Jenn, I am so sorry. I hope you're taking steps to fight it? Technu is helpful after the fact. Do you have any Technu?

[BAP]

I do now.  But it is little too late.  Should had bought some at CVS on Saturday.  This time is the worst ever.

[BAP]

Maybe I should change my user name here to Polka Dot Lady.

If you have it that bad you should go to the doctor. They can give you a steroid shot and it will go away.

I've been texting her the exact same thing this morning.

Great minds, etc.

I just made an appointment.  If they give me a STEROID SHOT, I should run the Berkeley Half Marathon this Sunday, maybe I will win.

New rule:

After steroids for a massive case of P.O. the climber must go immediately to Pinnacles and lead both routes on Prednisone Pinnacle.

I am not going to climb anymore.  I am selling my gear.

[BAP]

Prednisone Pinnacle?  For real?

[clink]

Still use the Technu. 2 or 3 uses removes the oils that cause and spread the rash.

[BAP]

I will.  thank you.

[mungeclimber]

If the rash spreads to areas that are not contact points or subsequent contact with contaminated clothing you MUST go to urgent care now!!!!


You are likely having a systemic response.

[mynameismud]

for future excursions they make a pre-exposure cream that I have found works fairly well.  I used that last 5 years or so in the Bay Area while climbing and riding.   I still got PO on occasion but usually only a couple of dots.  I think this is also sold by Technu.
