There might be a thread for this, but please don't jump down my throat if there is because I was hoping for a quick response or direction. I am covered with something a rash on my leg that is super pink a back that is incredibly itchy and a bit pink and some red pumps on my legs chest and arms. Anyone have any symptoms or know what I have that I received from the roo? I'm thinking its ivy, not sure.
poison ivy is more like blisters that develop and then ooze.
did you lie down in grass a lot? might be Bonnarash.
Get on some ibuprofen, hydrocortisone cream and benadryl right away. If its not better by tomorrow call your healthcare provider as you may need some oral steroids .
I was noticing this year that the poison ivy/oak that used to cover Centeroo in the early years was gone (along with most of the grass.) But I still got some small patches of poison oak on my feet from somewhere. Maybe close to the trees when I wasn't looking at night. Maybe you layed in the patch I found.
Poison ivy gives me blisters but poison oak just gives me red bumps, that's how I can tell the difference.
If so, then your allergic to what they spray the grass to kill the bugs with. Depending on the severity as to how to treat it. As bad as my picture, go to the Doctor. Not as bad, take Benadry, use hyrocortisone, and even some lidocaine. It will get better, I promise.

Another gross bonnarash pic to share, to help yer diagnosis This was after several doses of benadryl and topical hydrocortisone. Was much more swollen before this. Benadryl really helps!!
Thanks guys! The pinkness has begun to go down. I've been treating it like poison ivy, but from what you said I may have this. If you guys can see on my leg, the pinkness is still there a little. What confused me is my back which isn't as much of a rash as it is itchy. I had a shirt on the whole time.
You can see it, but it was much more pink than this. I was laying in grass around trees often.
You have the Bonnarash. There are several levels of severity. Yours is mild. Your shirt may have protected your back some. Itches like a mf'cker. Hydrocortisone and Benadryl are your new best friends.
