The Allergic Reaction

While we walked around in the mountains in Yamagata, I got the allergic reaction on my arm, which was probably caused by some kind of plants of genus Toxicodendron (Urushi).
I have had this reaction once before while we walked around a mountain in Ojiya in Niigata to take pictures of Viola brevistipulata (Ooba Ki Sumire).
The interesting thing is that I never had such reaction when I was a kid. I played around in the mountains quite often at that time, but I had no problem like this at all.
Anyway, it is really, really itchy now!

やられてしまいました。
多分、ウルシです。ツタウルシかな?
左手首の辺りがかぶれてしまっています。
ものすごーく、痒いです。
去年かなぁ…新潟の小千谷で、オオバキスミレの写真とっているときに、初めて同じかぶれが出たんですよね。子供の頃、あんなに山で遊んでて何ともなかったのに…アレルギーって何とも不思議です。
ネットで調べてみると、マンゴーもウルシ科なんだとか…つい2,3日前にマンゴーパフェとか食べちゃいましたけど…
前回も2,3週間ぐらい直るのにかかったので、また今回もそれぐらいかかるのかな…って、言ってる間も、痒くて仕方ないです!
