Red and Rover by Brian Basset for July 30, 2021

I was thinking chiggers. Poison oak doesn’t act that fast.

I think the boys are itching to go home!

His Mum told him to cover up in case of poison ivy, but did he listen.

The only way to learn is to do! Rub dirt on it and move on. Better than sitting inside playing video games and complaining about how the world isn’t fair.

It’s bad but not as bad as a tick….gasp

My worst nightmare!

Most can avoid poison ivy and such by washing when you get home. Looks like chiggers to me. Sometimes I’ve wondered if I want to go back north where you don’t get killed by chiggers just for walking across the grass.

Moms know best…..

Oh now you tell him, Rover!

Never, ever, ever scratch poison ivy/oak/sumac rashes! They all have the same chemical in them that makes the rashes and itching, but the differences are generally regional.

Ouch………..

It will be nettle.

Cue the Coasters. Or Batman.

Scratching won’t help wash it off with soap.

Run home and get a full shower. you’re making it worse.

Uh-oh, that is not good.

I’ve never been in any poison ivy or oak.
