Itchy Scratchy

I've been really itchy the past few days and trying to figure out why. At first I thought it was because our weather changed back to cooler, more dry air. Then I thought maybe it was post-FCAT skin disruptions (when I'm stressed it usually manifests itself after the fact with eczema or the skin on the palm side of my fingers bubbling and peeling--lovely, right?). But I think I finally figured out the true source this evening!

Last time I bought detergent, the store only had a new "concentrated" form of All available. I didn't really think anything of it other than, "Is this the scent I like?" and "Why can't they just ever leave things alone?!" I only recently used up my last bottle of "regular" All and had to switch to the new concentrated bottle. It completely coincides with me being reallllllly itchy and developing a rash on my legs (more lovely details for you!). Sounds like classic Guilford skin, doesn't it?

So, I guess if they only make All concentrated now, we try All free and clear. If that doesn't do it.... I don't know what to do! But All free and clear has been working for Brad (is that 2x concentrated now too, Joy? Is Brad still okay with it?) last I asked. Hopefully it will work for me too!

I'll keep you posted. ;)

P.S. Tomorrow we are going on a field trip.... (click to see their webpage)

Hey, Babe- At our markets we have a choice of regular or concentrated All. We can still get "regular" free and clear - hopefully you can too. Actually, I bought some concentrated by mistake - and was just getting ready to use it. I'll let you know if we start itching. :):)

Love, Mom

Hi There! We just bought our first 4 bottles of concentrated so hopefully we will not have problems with it. We are on our last bottle of concentrated but we do always buy ALL Free and Clear. I will let you know in a few weeks if we have problems sorry that I cannot be more helpful.
