C'mon do not inhale !

Everyone is standing around, the awe of the scent, the anticipation of how a warm fuzzy feeling will come over. As you stare into the haze, you inhale slowly oh it smells so good. . . STOP ! That wood you just got out of the forest over there, lit very well and blazing as great bonfires would, had nearly undetectable spores of either poison oak or poison ivy or even poison sumac, depending upon where you live, all over it. But you could not help yourself, that awesome smell of burning wood can elude you and nearly kill you. For most it can cause a very severe rash from the inside out, severe respiratory difficulties and on the extreme death.

Wood from anywhere can be contaminated, it is not always easily detectable. You have to really know the pattern of wood in general to see a malformation from such a crawling along the surface of the wood, disease. It too can be dangerous to another plant but worse to humans especially those allergic. Apparently type o's have a better immune system and it appears to manifest much later from the moment of inhalation, but it does appear.

The problem is made doubly-worse should you be camping and cooking over that same fire made with this wood ! Imagine enjoying a steak grilled to slow wood-cooked perfection with some baked potatoes thrown in the embers and prhaps an ice cold ice tea. Sounds delish doesn't it? Well it would be if I did NOT know the horror behind internal poison oak, ivy or sumac. Now you have made this a gastrointestinal/digestion element of toxic proportion and the body can only react in one way: it must leak out of the pores by force or freak of nature.

A family member, carrying type-o blood through his circulatory system, has been afflicted with this internal poisoning and even though he has been battling with the itching, redness, soreness, lesions, pustules, burning oozing liquid that crusts over and then breaks and crusts over again, and breaks some more--he is beating it. Physically in appearance his palms and insoles of both feet and heel of one foot are the affected areas and it is frustrating, irritating and over-all psychologically tearing him down, or so I believe.

In the earlier stages of his initial outbreak, his hands and fingers were occasionally wrapped with an ointment beneath to treat the external portion dermatologically. After weeks of external bulls**t cremes, solutions, treatment to the outermost epidermal layer--wife and him decided to take things on from the inside ! Silver protein the crap out of whatever this was, because at the early stages no-one knew what it was or could have been. The veterans hospital staff steered clear from him and gave him tubes for more external bulls**t preparations, wife said "Nope" we are taking the colloidal silver as directed, vitamin water NOT TAP DUE TO FLUORIDE (whole other issue) and treating it alternatively, holistically and completely without the introduction of any synthetic antibiotics that would further break down the immune system which needs to be maintained strong for the purpose of beating this affliction.

As I said before, he is getting much better as the palms are nearly spot postule-free and all we are concerned about is the heel of the one foot (not sure which one sees how I really pay attention . . .but), which will slowly begin to heal as well. This is wrong to have happened to such a fine strong biker dude family member because it seems like being wild, crazy and enjoying nature has a very 'evil-dark side' and it is quite painful both debilating physically and psychologically.

We send collective thoughts to heal this as quickly and painlessly as possible and ask our sisters and brothers to share the collective thought too. For pinpointing the specific areas that require collective healing we had done quite a bit of research. We found that a dermatological condition called "dyshidrotic eczema" which is a really neat name meaning more or less that they do not know what causes it or how to make it go away, but the photographs matched his hands. Somewhere on the net a possisble aid to relieving the skin continual itching and oozing, someone had mentioned that vinegar worked very well.

We were watching a video about water treatment and water quality to discover that an acid water ph made by adding concentrated real lemon juice to the water and soaking in it, works !

UPDATE: today--the sores are being eliminated and the manifestation of new ones has been few and far between. We have discovered that his case is not a posion oak, sumac or ivy related infestation but rather off the Tinea family which includes versicolor, pedis, corporis (ringworm). Interestingly enough, fungal. There is hope that the immune system has been kicked into gear and that walking through forests, or burning some wood of them, will not have been in vain. For he will be able to enjoy them, again . . .
