All the stories about poison ivy rash - showed Arya the plant and told her to not touch it. Well, she touched it anyway and came home with not just bug bites but a big patch of rash on her chest. Took her to the doc and she confirmed that it was poison ivy rash . How do we convince a 7 year old to not scratch??? Well she listened and did quite ok with the not scratching part .

But in the middle of the night half asleep - urge to scratch so strong but fighting it with all the will power she could muster - she woke up crying and screaming that it was itchy. A lot of calamine lotion later she was able to fall asleep.
