Heidi,

From what I've read, a PI rash usually starts 24 to 48 hours after initial contact, so if you had contact nearly 2 weeks ago, I wouldn't think this is connected with that twig you picked up. Maybe you came in contact with another plant that causes a reaction (like a nettle or something?) or maybe even a lotion or perfume. I have to use a PABA-free sunscreen or I get a bumpy rash, almost like hives.
