Itching and Burning
So, yesterday being memorial day we upheld the tradition we started when our daughter was born and took the family to the zoo. Taking a 3yr old and a 2yr old to the zoo is like taking them to the candy store without the sugar blitz! It was a lot of fun, but it was also pretty warm 88ish, pretty humid, and then we were in and out of buildings that were also very hot and even more humid.
About half way through the afternoon my neck began to itch. Not a problem. Mind over matter. It's like a mosquito itch, ignore it and it will go away...it will go away...it will...it...gah! Ah, that felt better, just don't scratch it again. Okay...mind over matter...mind over...what? It's, oh man, it's burning now.
After fighting off the urge to scratch, rather unsuccessfully I might add, the skin began to burn, and that combined with itching was killer. I found a restroom and dowsed the area with cold water, and that was a big help.
BUT, Out of curiosity what do YOU do for a post-shave on a hot-humid day? It's just beginning to really warm up here in Northern Iowa (We were at Omaha's Doorly Zoo btw) so I haven't worried about it. In the past my neck was irritated anyway (cartridge days) so either I didn't notice or didn't care to think about it. Now my neck's NOT irritated on a regular basis so yesterday's experience was a new one for me.
Thanks for the input!
Peace,
