poison ivy

here's some of the left hand, the one that remained a problem the longest. unlike the right hand, it only had blisters between the first two fingers, but it also had them up and down the fronts, which meant that they couldn't be bent to type. even when everything else was usable again, that index finger couldn't bend in to reach the lower row of keys or out to reach the upper row; the whole hand had to move to accommodate it.

the white discoloration (even paler than i normally am) is calamine lotion.

this was my first attempt at getting the left hand, using the camera's timer. i'm sorry you can't see the blisters, but you can at least see where they were.

i realized i had the camera on a low quality setting when i took the first shot, so i took it again.

another attempt at the right hand, with the camera strap in the way. i tried five more times, but never got a good photo. you'll just have to make do with the horror of the left hand. :)
