Cooking, dishes, laundry... you mean those things Mrs. MACS makes me do?

I kid, I kid.

In the spring its tree pollen. After the trees are finished (late April to mid May in Kentucky) I'm fine for the summer.

Socks would work, maybe:)

House work, yes, I run from that!

I'm pretty lucky when it comes to allergies...

Only one that I know of...Chlorine..

I can go into private pools, but a public/school pool is outta the question...2 days later and I look like a huge strawberry...

But a cute one...

Be careful about Splenda - it is sugar with chlorine added to it.

Hey Mrs.Tank,

It just occured to me that your foot problem may not be an allergy. I have a condition called HyperHydrosis. It causes my feet to break out with thousands of little vesecules, which itch, and burn, much like atheletes foot. I only have this problem during the summer months, if my shoes do not allow alot of air transfer "breathing". If left untreated, can lead to cracked and bleeding feet. If this is the case, change socks often, I do 4-6 times a day. My doctor prescribed a creme to keep my feet dry, that has a 10% solution of Aluminum Chlorohydrate, and it appeared to help. The only problem, with the prescription, was it cost me $60 a week. Until I discovered that Arrid XX, or extra extra dry, had a 24% solution of Aluminum Chlorohydrate, and costs about $3 a week.

Your problem might be an allergic reaction, but maybe not.

After being a Paramedic for a few years I developed a minor insensitivity to the latex gloves we always wore. Not really bad but a mild breakout just on my hands.

Thankfully they made us switch to non latex gloves.

Homebrew - maybe that's it...

It is funny how the shape of the "rash" is the same as the tongue of the shoe. Both days I wore them, it was stinking hot, and both times I chose not to wear socks. Maybe I will pick up some Arrid tonite - it can't hurt (unless I am allergic to that too)

Thanks for the tip.
