A WALK TO REMEMBER

When I was still 8 years old, I was rushed to the hospital due to contact dermatitis. It was summer and while my parents were busy working for a living, I was out in our yard playing with our neighbors. A day after, my arms and legs were filled with itchy rashes. After 3 days this uncomfortable itchiness turned into painful blisters. The burning sensation made me cry all night that my parents were forced to rushed me to the nearest hospital.

I do not know it it was poison oak blisters … but what my mom told me was I got it from the shrubs in our backyard. It was the most unforgettable summer I had since I stayed almost a month indoors because they said it was contagious. Believe me those blisters leaved scars on my legs… Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
