Right now my son is covered..he was outside pulling vines ....and THEN after 10 minutes decided to get gloves on and a long sleeved shirt..etc. Instead of getting a steroid first sign that he had a good dose....he waited until the skin was weeping and one eye totally shut..the urgent care doc said this year was a horrible year for it.
