A bunch of us met up at Starbucks on Sunday and had a great gab-fest. At one point a friend who lives in Kennett held up his phone and showed us a photo of what his right forearm had looked like the previous weekend: a blistered mess.
"Yikes, poison ivy!" I said.
No, he said. It was actually an allergic reaction to his fig tree, of all things! He'd been pruning it and ended up with this awful rash. It turns out that fig tree sap, plus direct sun, can cause nasty blisters. He ended up at his dermatologist's.
