Lately, I'm more like BruceS - just a continuous case of
small pi dots. The last time I had a bad outbreak, I got it by
scrambling up a steep hill to get the Katy Trail cache (one of
Myotis'). It was all over my arms and streaks of it down
the side of my face where I wiped the sweat off. Luckily,
I was doing in-house projects at the company I was
working for so I stayed out the of public as much as possible
until it healed up.
The worst case I ever had was about 3 years ago. I had a
bad day at the office and came home to do yardwork to
let off steam. I chopped a huge vine out of a tree. The
dust from it fell on my exposed arms. It was pi. For two
weeks it oozed and I changed dressing (which amounted
to paper towels) at least 6 times a day. Then suddenly,
one of my arms started to swell. I went to the doctor and
he gave me a cortisone shot. You know your pi is bad
when the doctor winces and says "I hate to see it like that."
