Oh no! Hives! I am highly allergic to Virginia Creeper, what most folks around here call poison oak. It breaks me out in big patches, with blisters and intense itching. I have taped socks on my hands at night so I wouldn't claw the patches in my sleep. I hope what they gave you at the hospital is working. That sounds miserable.

For itchy places I use Aloe Vera gel with lidocaine, found in the sunburn section. Another good one is Arnicare, it is a pain reliever and works good on itchy spots too.

Sorry to here about your allergic reaction. I have to deal with poison ivy/oak here and deal with rash and itches most of the warm season. Basically any time I have to do yard work... :(

I will have to look into those 2 items-we do have an Aloe Vera gel for after sunburn but sometimes that doesn't feel good when I put it on....
