Poison Ivy Riddled My Son

My son is one of these kids that loves running around the neighborhood in just his shorts.

He’ll climb trees, jump in bushes, ride his bike, run on the sidewalk in this minimalistic attire.

A few weeks ago he was very itchy. He had this rash on his legs, hands, chest, and face.

I was curious as to why he was having this rash. I was thinking was maybe we changed the our laundry detergent but we did not. Then I began thinking well maybe he’s allergic to some plant in the yard.

I called my landscaper and he was just down the street. In about 10 minutes he was at our house and went to the backyard. In about 2 seconds, Pepe identified that our yard was full of poison ivy. He walked around the yard and pointed which plants were poison ivy.

It turns out our entire yard was full of poison ivy and my son was rolling in it. Pepe went to his truck and picked up some canister and began spaying this solution on the poison ivy. I was amazed at how fast Pepe was able to diagnose the problem and how quickly he removed the poison ivy. Pepe has been working with gardens his entire life. He’s has a huge amount of experience and it obvious.

I’ve been a dentist for the last 20 years. Seeing all kinds of dental situations has helped me develop a body of work. Some that’s been successful and other that hasn’t.

Obviously when dental treatment doesn’t work out we rectify it. What matters is that I’ve tried about every different way or solution for the best outcome.

The only way to get to that level of certainty, is that you need a lot of hours and need to see a lot of different situations.
