• Itchy = Antihistamine or Benadryl spray
• Red and inflamed = Hydrocortisone ointment
• Bullseye shape, growing red area, or full-body symptoms = Call your doctor

Okay, gardening warriors — pace yourselves. It’s only April, and I’ve already seen backs that lost the battle with a bag of mulch. If your spring "garden refresh" ended with you unable to stand up straight without sound effects, you're not alone. Use a stool, take breaks, pace yourself!

If your white car is now yellow and your eyes won’t stop itching, welcome to spring in Maryland! Did you know you can check the daily allergy forecast before heading outside — and if it’s high, consider rescheduling the mulch pile for a lower-count day. Avoidance is the best medicine this time of year (with Claritin/Xyzal a close second).
