[QUOTE="117LBS, post: 1340299, member: 102514"] Oohhhhh. One fine spring day when my brother and I were about 10 and 12, I the younger, we decided to play outside as it was still cool out most of the day and the Texas bugs hadn't come out yet. I do not remember how we started it but we made short work of pulling some old growth vines off the trunk of a large oak growing near the house. In true young boy fashion we then commenced to mercilessly beating eachother with the vines we had pulled from the tree. Little was thought of this until several days later when the rashes and swelling started and lasted well past ten days. My mother also decided the best way to treat the rashes was to take a mixture of vinegar and salt and vigorously rub the rashes until the blisters broke open. I remember having the worse of it, as the little brother who took more than he dished out. The best part was that my birthday was a week after the initial action with the vines so I got to spend it swollen and itching. Now days I spend plenty of time in the woods and none of that stuff bothers me. [/QUOTE]
