I just want to let people know that my brother inhaled the some from burning poison something. His rash started the next day. He thought it was chiggers, a week later went to the Dr. And he saild Scabies (another tube of cream). Next Dr. Said it was edema, next said eczema, then when all the tests came negative, for biopsies, skin scrapings, blood, urine and stool, and allergies they told my brother to see a physcriatrist. There is nothing wrong with you.
Well guess who figured out what was wrong with him, a landscaping company.
After 6 months of Dr's. Opinions, creams, and emegency room treatments costing and ample amout of money, It took a landscaper to figure this out. I have never seen a case this bad or last so long. I really think the Doctors (in the heart of the pinelands) should have caught this. But hey, were not all outdoorsman , but they should have caught this.
