RE: Euphorbia boo-boo

My husband and I both had problems after clearing out Some Euphorbia. I had
an irritating rash that was managed successfully with Benedryl and
over-the-counter cortisone cream. He developed small red welts that
persisted for many days and were so painful that he was unable to sleep.
Unfortunately, he waited it out too long before contacting our doctor to
obtain a prescription for prednisone. The rash became manageable eight hours
after he started using prednisone. If your rash is painful,please don't
suffer too long before getting a prescription.

I did something so dumb that I would be embarrassed to admit it, if I 
didn't need your suggestions.

I trimmed Euphorbia in a short sleeved shirt and shorts.  And got it 
all over me.  And only spot washed afterwards.

And now I itch all over. Welts and bumps eveywhere.

Anyone got any suggestions?
