Feb 15, 2015 Poisonwood

Well Bitts and I feel really bad, we think we gave our dog Dad a case of poisonwood.  Never heard of it?, well another first.  It is related to the poison oak family and there is an oil on it that will make you break out with a terrible, super unbelievable rash and itch.  One of us must have gotten into it when going for a walk, and when Rich picked us up he got it.  That's what we think.  Anyway, poor Rich, he is one big itchy rash, basically all over his body.  Kathy put some Calamine lotion on it and it is helping, but takes 1-2 weeks to go away.  Kathy, the "nurse",  has everything on board for a major boat accident except Benadryl...she has Epi pens etc, but somehow forgot the Benadryl.  When we get to Nassau tomorrow they will go get some more Calamine lotion and some Benadryl.  Good thing dogs don't get it and it is not contagious.  Rich is a saint with trying not to scratch.  If Kathy got it, she would be drinking Manhattans to put her out of her misery.
