It affects the skin of most people in a very painful manner, and the inflammation speedily spreads from one part of the body to another. Some people are so affected that their faces could not be recognized, and others are not affected by it.

After having been once injured, they are ever after very susceptible to the poison . Even passing to the leeward of a bush on a windy day, or through the smoke of a fire in which it is burning, will "bring the poison to the surface" again. So poisonous is it, that it pollutes the air where it grows. Children, and even grown-up people, who are gathering berries, or other-wise approaching its vicinity, are often badly poisoned.

Their faces are frequently swelled until their eyes are shut; the neck, hands, and arms covered with inflamed vesicles, the cuticle highly inflamed, and not unfrequently constitutional symptoms are observed, resembling those of "milk sickness ." On breaking a stem of the Rhus a milky fluid exudes, which is exceedingly poisonous, and if applied to the skin, will produce effects like that of nitrate of silver. A black welt is produced, which in a few hours becomes sore, destroys the cuticle, which sloughs off, and upon healing leaves a circular cicatrix, 67.

Those persons who are constitutionally liable to the influence of this poison, experience from it a train of symptoms very similar to those which result from exposure to the Rhus vernix; these consist in itching, redness, and tumefaction of the affected parts, particularly of the face, succeeded by blisters, suppuration, aggravated swelling, heat, pain, and fever; when the disease is at its height, the skin becomes covered with a crust, and the swelling is so great as in many instances to close the eyes and almost obliterate the features; the symptoms begin in a few hours after exposure, and are commonly at the height on the fourth or fifth day, after which desquamation begins to take place, and the distress, in most instances, to diminish. Sometimes the eruption is less general, and confines itself to the part which has been exposed to contact with the poison. The symptoms of this malady, though often highly distressing, are rarely fatal. I have, nevertheless, been told of cases in which death appeared to be the consequence of this poison, 31.
Small blisters, exactly like Willan's vesicles, except that they were associated with greater swelling, at first between the fingers, and then over the whole hand (second day), 4.* [1200.]
Vesicles, most of which contain a milky but some of which also contain a clear liquid, become confluent; this condition lasts three days, after which the skin desquamates, 4.*
A burning eruption of small blisters, filled with water, with redness of the skin of the whole body, except on the scalp, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet, 23.*
Red spots of the size of a pea, with small vesicles in the centre, 2.
A wound becomes inflamed and covered with small vesicles (sixth day), 4.
Erysipelas, with numerous vesicles, that burst, and secreted for eight days a slimy liquid, 42.*
*After the lapse of about twenty-four hours, itching and burning commenced, lasting from half an hour to two hours. After about thirty-six hours, swelling of the parts, with violent itching and burning, increased on touching or moving the parts affected, as if pierced by hot needles; white transparent vesicles appeared on the highly red and inflamed skin, 54.
*Covered from head to foot with a fine red vesicular rash, itching and burning terribly, especially in the joints; worse at night, causing constant scratching, with little or no relief, and which felt very hard upon pressure with the finger; skin burning hot (second day), 76.
Pemphigous eruption followed the eschar, such as might be caused by nitrate of silver, that healed only after two weeks, 41.*
There were some small pimples, coalescing into blisters the size of a split pea, filled with yellow watery fluid, with intense itching; worse at night after 12 P.M.; the only relief he can get is to rub it with something rough until the blisters are open; the case was of three weeks' standing, 94.*
Numerous vesicles appear on different parts of the body, varying from two or three lines to one-fourth inch in diameter (second day); vesicles dry and disappear by desquamation (fourth day), 93.* [1210.]
Scores were attacked by an erysipelatoid eruption affecting the hands and arms, the feet and legs, the face, and sometimes the whole person. It varied in extent and in severity from a small patch with trivial itching to an extended surface with enormous swelling and excruciating suffering. Pruritus, tingling, smarting, stinging, burning were the sensations described. On a red and swollen base of inflamed skin, vesicles and blebs, from the size of a pins head to a pea, were crowded together, and when these broke and dried, eczematous crusts remained. Sufficient irritation carried the inflammation on to ulceration, 96.*
I felt on the ears and hands an itching similar to the bites of insects; it extended over the face, principally around the eyes, on the cheek-bone, and around the brow; by degrees, in the space of twenty-four hours, all these parts were perceptibly swollen, and on the ears the swelling was accompanied with a considerable redness (after eleven days). Took a dose of Rhus. All the symptoms became much worse, so as to occasion great pain; similar symptoms were manifested on the parts of the body that were covered, more especially on the scrotum, which became red first on the left side, then all over, became much swollen, and caused intense itching; they then extended to the left thigh, only the latter did not swell, but became covered with red spots, with a burning itching, quite insupportable, much more painful than the stings from nettles; at last, yielding to the insufferable itching, I rubbed myself slightly with the hand to procure a little relief. On the thirteenth day I was so changed by the swelling that I astonished every one; my hands, but only on the dorsal side and on the first phalanges of the fingers, were much swollen, and the swelling ascended even to the middle of the forearm, so that the wrist of my shirt cut me; there was also observed a great number of isolated vesicles, filled with a white fluid, which were doubly as painful when scratched; the itching and red spots on the left leg extended also to the left arm. The swelling and itching on the ears and face diminished, and ceased entirely up to the sixteenth day or thereabouts; the ears became white, and desquamation took place; the hands, more especially the right, were still swollen, but no vesicles were any longer produced; on the contrary, at the lower extremities, the symptoms continued to be developed; on the left leg the red spots descended beyond the ankle, which also began to become swollen; on the inner side of the two thighs, as also at the external sides of the right thigh, there were formed red patches, which were extremely itchy, similar to patches of measles, but larger, and without a rounded form. I had to do violence to myself not to scratch, for every time I yielded to the temptation I was punished for it, and yet I would willingly have continued. It was only on the twentieth day that the improvement in the symptoms was at all perceptible; the swelling of the right hand disappeared; however, the itching continued, though less burning. Some days later the spots which served as the seat for the vesicles scaled off; the desquamation extended gradually over the whole external surface of the hand, as if the epidermis had been burned; I observed no such appearance on the legs. At the present time (the twenty-eighth day) this symptom also has almost disappeared; however, I always feel an itching in this hand, just as in the left leg, which was swollen, 75.
His hands, especially the lateral surfaces of the fingers, were thickly covered with vesicles, and his face and genitals were badly swollen. The following day the eruption appeared upon the arms and about the thighs and abdomen, and continued to spread for several days, until at last it presented the following appearances: The face and ears were of a lurid-red color, greatly swollen, and dripping with fluid exudation. The neck, chest, and abdominal wall were also reddened, and occupied by large patches of flattened papules and vesicles, and by moist excoriations. The genitals were enormously distended by œdema, and the scrotum was running with serum. The arms and legs were also œdematous, and largely occupied by fields of the peculiarly characteristic vesicles of the affection. The patient was of a highly nervous temperament, and suffered tortures from the severe itching which accompanied the eruption. The skin was so universally irritable, that no clothes could be worn for forty-eight hours, when the affection was at its height, and a sheet or blanket was the only covering during this time. Sleep, without powerful anodynes, was impossible for several nights in succession, 84.
The following morning he complained of tiresome itching on the hands and wrists. On the fourth day the itching increased, and the wrists as well as the hands commenced to swell, and became covered with a number of small pimples; afterwards the hands and wrists became more swollen during the night, were covered with a number of small vesicles, which continued to enlarge for seven or eight days, and became filled with yellowish serum, indicating a bad form of erysipelas; in spite of bloodletting, baths, emollient fomentations, and soothing drinks, the head swelled to such an extend that he was unable to see for twenty-four hours in consequence of the enormous swelling of the eyelids; the itching then spread all over the body, chiefly on the hairy scalp and the privates, which he tore to pieces with scratching. After ten days these symptoms went off; the wrists, which had exuded much serum, east off their epidermis, and the patient was surprised to find that he was cured of an eruption (dartre) which he had had on his wrists for more than six years, 70.
Wound not disposed to heal; eruption under the plaster at first, but now extends the whole length of the tibia (tenth day). Eruption extended to scrotum, attended with a thin colorless discharge and great irritation (fourteenth day). The eruption completely covers the face, trunk, and extremities, attended with a discharge from the chin, scrotum, and thighs, where it lies in contact, and from the leg where it first commenced; penis swelled, in its general appearance resembling anasarca (fifteenth day). Eruption decreasing (after sixteen days), 34.
In the evening I felt considerable itching of my wrist, and the following morning observed that there were upon it a number of extremely minute vesicles, which contained a fluid more or less limpid or transparent; the itching increased hourly; the wrist and the middle of the forearm began the swell, and the vesicles extended themselves rapidly, chiefly upwards towards the elbow, and partly downwards along the lower part of the wrist and upon the fingers; meanwhile vesicles, accompanied and preceded by itching more or less troublesome, made their appearance upon various other parts of the body; the face was universally sprinkled with them, but these were extremely small; the fluid which they contained was always limpid, and without any application, except that of cold water every morning, they entirely disappeared in two or three days. About the seventh or eighth day the itching, the inflammation, and the spread of the vesicles appeared to be nearly at their height. At this period, and for some days afterwards, the greater part of the forearm and about one-third of the arm were swelled to nearly twice the natural thickness; the itching was intolerable, and the vesicles, in general, were no longer filled with a limpid fluid, but contained a thick matter or pus very similar to that of small-pox, and strongly adhering to the linen. On the ninth day I perceived a swelling in the axillary gland of the right arm, which was that to which the lacteous juice was applied, and which was chiefly affected; the swelling rapidly increased until it became of the size of a hen's egg, and on the second day of its appearance it had almost entirely vanished. From the period that the swelling was at its height to its entire disappearance, the itching was almost universal, and much more insupportable than it was before. In fifteen days from the time that the poison was first applied to my arm, all the disagreeable symptoms had ceased; the vesicles had almost entirely disappeared; a desquamation of the affected parts had taken place, and a new epidermis had been formed, 17.
In June, 1871, she suffered very severely from a burning and itching eruption covering her entire face, neck, both mammæ, external genitals, extending along the inner surface of both thighs, both hands, wrists, and portions of her abdomen. The disease ran its course, terminating in desquamation, without any benefit from treatment. On the 6th of May, 1872, the eruption again broke out, appearing simultaneously in all the localities attacked the previous year. It began with swelling, redness, intense burning, and itching. During the subsequent twenty-four hours, the inflamed surface became densely covered with very minute vesicles, which soon ruptured and poured out very copiously a yellowish serious fluid, which, collecting in the most dependent parts, desiccated into amber-colored, semi-translucent incrustations. On May 31st, 1873, the eruption made its appearance for the third time. Burning and itching on the right temple, extending to the outer canthus of the right eye, slight redness, but no swelling (first day); right eye entirely closed, swelling extended along forehead and to left cheek, partially closing left eye, also down right cheek to lip; swollen surface inflamed, firm and elastic; no pitting; the parts first attacked covered with minute vesicles; exudation very copious and seems to irritate the inflamed surface (second day); swelling about eyes slightly diminished; right cheek, brow, and right upper eyelid covered with vesicles; exudation very copious; in the afternoon, the swelling had extended down the right side of the face, under the right lower maxilla and chin, but had diminished about the right eye; exudation very copious (third day); swelling, tumefaction, etc., decreased (after three days), 85.
Her whole head was greatly swollen, and the features so distorted that no one could recognize her. On closer inspection the skin of the face and neck was felt to be deeply œdematous and was largely covered with vesicles off all sizes, many of which were seated on an erythematous base, others being still in the papular stages of development. There were also numerous large excoriations, from which fluid was freely exuding, stiffening in places on drying, and forming soft crusts. The ears were much thickened, and were dripping with the escaping serious exudation. The hands were also affected, being thickly covered upon their backs with groups of small vesicles, while upon the palm numerous vesicular exudation were dimly seen beneath the thickened epidermal coverings, trying to push themselves above the level of the general surface. The subjective symptoms were great itching and burning of the parts affected, with the feeling of local discomfort consequent upon so great swelling of the features. New efflorescences continued to appear for several days, but the course of all the cutaneous manifestations was abbreviated, and the œdema immediately reduced by the local treatment which was employed, 83.
Intense itching and burning of the skin of the forehead, and about the eyes; face was much swollen, could open his eyes only with difficulty; vesicles made their appearance, filled with watery fluid, 95.*
In the first case, the eruption made its appearance in the form of vesicles over the right mastoid process and from thence it slowly extended to the ear. For three or four days the disease seemed to remain stationary, spreading little if any. There was a copious exudation of turbid serum poured out from the vesicles; this soon formed into semitransparent incrustations. On the morning of the fifth day I noticed considerable puffiness of the upper eyelid. The disease from this time forward rapidly extended over the entire face, neck, and upper part of chest. The tumefaction and inflammation were well-marked, disfiguring the patient to such an extent that she was scarcely recognizable. There was no pitting on pressure. On the sixth day the eruption made its appearance on the hands; the vesicles were small and aggravated in patches, varying in size from that of a three-cent piece to that of a silver half dollar. The fingers on their proximal surfaces were thickly studded with vesicles. The tumefaction and redness of the parts were but slight. Patient complained of intense burning and itching, and unless closely watched, would frequently indulge in the luxury of scratching, which for the time being seemed to afford relief, but in the end only aggravated the trouble, 90. [1220.]
In a day or two she began to itch and burn; in three days her eyes were swollen shut, and she had all the symptoms of Rhus poisoning, 77.
Her face, ears, and neck had an erysipelatous redness, and were seem ingly swollen to their utmost capacity. She could not open her eyes, her nose was closed, and no African ever exhibited such a formidable pair of lips. The hands became greatly swollen, blistered badly, and were a long time in healing, 53.
*The face became red, enormously swollen and œdematous, then also the hands and skin of the whole body became covered with a scarlet-like exanthema, with intolerable itching biting (second day); on the fourth day the backs of the hands and legs became covered with blisters, that burst and slowly desquamated, 40.
*Violent vesicular erysipelas of the face and hands, attended with a high state of fever (after a few hours), 43.
In the morning, a blotch of redness, with very slight swelling, extending in a fan shape from the root of the nose towards the hairy scalp; in the afternoon the tumefaction had increased, and felt hot (third day); face very much swollen and disfigured; both eyes closed; on the right temple a circular blotch of redness slightly elevated, itching and burning intensely; on the afternoon of the same day, the circular blotch was thickly covered with very minute vesicles, and vesication had commenced on other parts of the inflamed surface (fourth day); the patches of vesication present a milky whitish appearance, and under the magnifying glass the vesicles seem collapsed, presenting closely aggregated curdy whitish points; small patches of vesication of the dorsum of right hand, and dorsal aspect of several fingers exhibit vesicles much larger than any which have appeared on the face; they are limpid at their apices; the fluid, when discharged by puncture, is limpid and transparent, changes blue litmus to a deep blue, which fades after drying, leaving no trace of discoloration (sixth day), 88.
Left eyelid swollen, dark-red, œdematous; exuded pus of a yellowish-white color from the tarsal margins; right forearm covered on its anterior surface with minute vesicles, burning and stinging; they were preceded in their spreading up the arm by a plain line of inflammation. Gave Croton tig., 30. The next day the right eye became involved; on the third day the right eye was again well and the left improving; the eruption ceased to spread, and blisters half an inch long, appeared on the fingers, which bursting, discharged a yellowish-white serum, and then rapidly healed; on the fifth day the eyes were both open, and a yellowish-brown scab had formed on the arm; on the seventh day the eyes were perfectly well, with no photophobia, and the cuticle on the right arm and fingers was peeling off, 69.*
Some sensation of heat about the face, in the evening (first day); considerable heat and some itching, with slight fulness (second day); considerable tumefaction, with much of that indescribable itching, stinging, or burning sensation, peculiar to this affection (third day); tumefaction great, vesicular eruption very distinct (fourth day); symptoms decreased (after four day), 39.
*Vesicular eruption on the cheek, with intense itching and burning (after thirty-six hours), 54.
Her face and hands were affected in a manner similar to that first described, although the inflammatory process was less severe. The parts were less swollen, but there was an abundant eruption of the vesicles and flow of serous exudation from the excoriated parts, 83b.
Swelling and inflammation of the right cheek, attended with intense burning and itching. The inflamed surface was covered with large blisters, containing a yellowish serous fluid. In the succeeding spring she was seized with a precisely similar attack, without being able to trace it to any renewed exposure to the poisonous plant, 89.* [1230.]
In the second case, the inflammation and tumefaction were confined to the right side of the face, never extending beyond. Patient complained of itching and burning, 90.*
*Swelling of the lips and nose, and then pale swelling of the face; on the third day the swelling of the face increased, with burning pain; the lids were closed by the swelling, the eyes watered; on the fourth and fifth days, the face was covered with vesicles full of yellow water, that ruptured and discharged some moisture; the swelling of the face lasted eight days; that below the chin lasted longer, and was followed by fine desquamation, 12 . [From getting the juice upon the hands. -Hahnemann.]
*An eruption of an erysipelatous nature upon the face. The inflammation had extended over the forehead and into the scalp, both eyes were closed, both ears, cheeks, and lips were very much tumefied and pitted on pressure and the patient's features were so much disfigured that he was not at all recognizable, 93.
A slight eruption on the face and the hands, were very much swollen; the eruption extended over the backs of the hands and to the ends of the fingers. In the language of Griffith, there were "violent itching, redness, and tumefaction of the parts, succeeded by heat, pain, vesication, and fever." The vesicles on the inside of the fingers were large, and adding to the pain by pressing against each other, 91.*
Erysipelas of the face, with perspiration of the face, without thirst (after one hour), 1.
*Great swelling of the face; the head became double its natural size; a sort of phlegmonous erysipelas, that kept her in bed for four weeks, 25 . [From the vapor of the juice, and from plucking the plant. -Hahnemann.]
*Great swelling of the head, face, and lids, so that he could not open the eyes for over twenty-four hours, 15.
*Erysipelatous swelling of the face and neck, 12 . [From the exhalations of the plant. -Hahnemann.]
Erysipelatous swelling of the face and of the eyelids, and finally an eruption of phlyctenæ over the whole body, 61.*
Before sunset the cuticle of the hand was a trifle elevated in papules, red and warm, and next morning itched decidedly, but not annoyingly, and showed a few vesicles. A cluster of vesicles an inch in diameter appeared on the cheek, and was more annoying than that on the hand. Scratching greatly aggravated the inflammation, and caused a free watery discharge, 97. [1240.]
Itching and swelling of the left ear, and the lobule of the right ear increased to bursting of the skin (sixth day), 54.
Smarting and prickling around the mouth, with vesicular watery eruption below the vermilion border of the lower lip (after thirty-six hours), 54.*
(Burning blisters about the mouth and nostrils), 1.*
Clusters of vesicles, filled at first with a watery substance, near both corners of the mouth, on the margin of the lower lip, with a salty biting sensation and soreness to touch (after ten hours), 1.*
A very painful violent burning and itching eruption, especially on the scrotum, prepuce, eyelids, and eyes, with swelling of these parts and appearance of small yellowish blisters, that here and there become confluent and discharge, also some vesicles upon the arms and loins; these after a few days become as large as peas, and are inflamed by the scratching of the patient. Many of these large pustules or ulcers slowly suppurate, are surrounded by a red areola, become extended and heal slowly (in the third week); the small confluent pustules rapidly dry up and desquamate after a few days. This eruption occurred without previous vomiting, nausea, and fever, 24 . [In a man forty years old; twenty-four hours before, he had dug up and handled a plant of Rhus tox. at the same time he had a sore finger.]
A vesicle oozing moisture on the top of the glans penis, 9.
Frightful eruption on the genitals, swelling of the urethra (followed by death), 12 . [From the probable application of the juice from the hands to the genitals.]
A large vesicle on the glans penis beneath the prepuce, that opened on the following day (sixth day), 4.
Swelling of the prepuce and glans penis; violent itching, burning, prickling, and cutting around the root of the penis and in the prepuce; transparent swelling extending from the prepuce to the scrotum, more on the left side, with watery vesicles, discharging a transparent fluid; prepuce very sore, looks and feels like a scald (after thirty-six hours), 54.
Very moist eruption on the scrotum, with swelling of the prepuce and glans, 12 . [From the application of the juice from the hands.] [1250.]
Has sores on his chest from a blister, with great itching, 44.
Large blisters containing yellowish liquid, with swelling of the arm; the blisters were ruptured carelessly, and the liquid flowed over the whole arm, after which a very large number of vesicles appeared, so that after eight days the whole forearm seemed to be one mass of blisters; anointing with olive oil seemed to have no effect upon the complaint; soon the upper arm and then the right arm and other parts of the body became affected; the whole trouble lasted four weeks, 60.*
Vesicle on the right wrist, just below the lower head of the ulna (sixteenth day), 57.
On the right wrist blisters on a pale red base of four fingers' breadth, that constantly increased, most of them of the size of the head of a pin, increasing to that of a pea or even of a bean, and so numerous that not only every point of the skin was covered, but they almost seemed to form a thick mass like clusters of grapes with pits (the spaces between the blisters could no longer be recognized), some were brownish, glistening from the dried exudations that were pressed out of the blisters as limpid water (fifth day), 4.
The juice became dark on exposure, and concreted on the palm and wrists, forming dark scales, which adhered so closely as to be with difficulty removed by rubbing off the superficial layer of the cuticle. At this time no inconvenience was felt, but four days afterward, two blisters were noticed, each about the size of a threepenny piece, on the flexor surface of the right wrist. On the top of each blister there remained adherent a portion of the black concentrated juice, and there was some redness around the vesications, but no pain. Four or five days subsequently the other wrist became similarly affected, and about the same time the redness began to slowly spread up both forearms. Nothing further was noticed until the seventeenth day after the exposure, when he was obliged to give up work in consequence of the swelling and stiffness of the forearms, and about the same time the redness began to spread slowly up both forearms. On examining the patient I found the skin on the flexor surface of both forearms swollen, and of a florid red color, like that of erysipelas; and the red surface was covered with small transparent vesicles each about the size of a pin's head, closely set together. The vesicles closely resembled those of eczema or the minute inflammatory vesications produced by the application of turpentine. Both forearms were considerably swollen, and felt stiff to the patient. Some of the black spots, formed by the dried acrid juice, were still seen on the palms of the hands and on the adjoining parts of the wrists. The skin of the (upper) arms was natural. The face, though less affected than the forearms, and not vesicated, was swollen and erythematous, the eyelids being puffy and partially closed. The trunk of the body was untouched, but the skin of the penis and scrotum was red, œdematous and painful, and there were scattered spots of inflamed and slightly elevated skin on the inner surface of both thighs. The inflamed portions of the skin were the seat of pain, sometimes of a numbing character, sometimes stinging like the irritation of nettles. The pain was worse at night, owing to the heat, but it was not severe anywhere except in the forearms. During the course of the following day the red patches extended up the arms, and also down the thighs as far as the knees, while some scattered spots remained over the pubes. Next day (27th) the swelling and redness of both face and arms were diminishing, and the vesicles on the forearms were drying up into scabs, but the erythematous eruption on the thighs continued to spread downwards to the legs, and upwards on the trunk of the body. On the 29th, at noon, the abdomen was found covered with irregularly-shaped patches of inflamed skin, which had extended from the pubes upwards as far as the hypochondria. At the margins of the large patches there were numerous detached small reddish spots, like the eruption at the outset of measles, the larger patches resembling the continuous rash of scarlet fever. On the 31st the redness had extended to the back, while anteriorly the skin, from the pubes to the clavicles, was marked with inflamed patches and spots, the region of the sternum alone being unaffected. The legs were almost entirely covered with eruption. There was no vesication on any of these parts. But while the eruption was thus spreading on the lower half of the body, the upper half was recovering. Thus the forearms were now nearly well; the redness and swelling were gone, only a few vesicles remaining on the backs of the hands and between the fingers. The face had nearly the natural appearance, very little desquamation being observable, 66.
Both hands and wrists were inflamed and enormously swollen. In urinating he conveyed the poison to his penis, affecting the whole organ, and the scrotum, the lower part of the abdomen, and part of the thighs. The prepuce was swollen to the size of a common orange, and distended with fluid, giving it almost a transparent appearance there was phimosis, completely hiding from view the glans; the scrotum was enormously swollen, 92.
Itching and swelling of left hand increased to bursting of the skin (sixth day), 54.
Copious eruption and the formation of numerous vesicles on the back of my hand, on the fingers, wrists, and bare arms, 63.
Itching in the palm of the hand ceased, became very sore to touch, and the vesicular discharge became yellowish (eleventh day), 54.
Vesicles filled with opaque matter on the right hand (tenth day), 54. [1260.]
In the palm of the left hand there was a considerable elevation, studded with itching vesicles, which burst and discharged serum in considerable quantity (sixth day), 54.
Swelling of left hand greatly increased; watery vesicles nearly covering the left hand (fifth day), 54.
A single vesicle, with the peculiar thick cover and somewhat dark look so often seen, appeared upon the back of a finger, but accompanied by no sensation (third day); a single and similar, though somewhat larger, vesicle appeared upon my left wrist, to which two others joined themselves on the following day (fourth day); one of the vesicles which appeared last upon the knuckles, without any external irritation, increased to three times its original size, with burning and itching sensations. The other efflorescences quiescent or receding (seventh day). A new and very large vesicle of irregular shape appeared on the back of the last phalanx of the right thumb, covered with so thick a roof a to appear transparent, as if the effusion had taken place in the lowest layer of the rete mucosum (ninth day); two new vesicles, one on the back of the left forefinger, the other on the thumb near the base (eleventh day); all groups, old and new, have become enlarged by the appearance of new vesicles at the peripheric (excepting those upon the wrists, which had been opened for the purpose of experiment), and one new cluster appeared on the back of the right middle finger. All itch and burn extremely (thirteenth day); the original vesicles and papules have, in many of the clusters, resolved themselves apparently into two or three times their number of smaller efflorescences, the whole patch flattening down and assuming a darker brown tinge (sixteenth day). A large, single vesicle, with the thick and opaque covering peculiar to its seat, has struggled up into distinct prominence in the palm of the right hand, near its ulnar border; a fresh one also at the base of the nail of the left thumb. At this date there are seven single or groups of efflorescences, on different parts of the hands, in all stages of development or involution (seventeenth day). Another small vesicle has appeared in the right palm, half an inch from that of the 17th day. The earlier vesicles have nearly all flattened down to the level of the general surface (twenty-second day). A single vesicle shows itself upon the internal lateral surface of the left thumb. This was the last to disappear, and from this date all the efflorescences gradually subsided, and after a fortnight were no longer perceptible (twenty-fourth day). At the present time their seats are still defined by the more glossy look of the new epidermis which covers them (forty-seventh day), 82.
For four fingers' breadth around the wrist it looked as if a blister had been applied to a stiff skin, and blisters upon blisters had accumulated in the form of a band around the arm; more towards the hand the blisters were isolated; some on the outer margin of the hand were clear, and these were without any areola; on opening them there was discharged very clear lymph that dried to a yellow glistening pellicle (eleventh day), 4.
A small swelling appeared on the little finger (seventeenth day); another was developed on the thumb (nineteenth day); the swelling increased, covering the greater part of the lower joints of both thumb and finger (twentieth day); the swelling disappeared, giving place to a sort of callus, which has since fallen off in the form of a scab (twenty-third day), 48.

On the second day of using the lotion the knee became violently inflamed, with an innumerable quantity of small vesicles scattered over its surface, and attended with severe pain, heat, and stinging itching; a well-defined border line showed that the inflammation did not extend farther than the saturated bandage had reached. These symptoms continued on the increase for four or five days, at which time the other knee became similarly affected, no doubt in consequence of some of the lotion having come in contact with it. On the seventh day it had begun to decline, but still exhibited a painful and ugly-looking cutaneous disease, 46.

MIND

Intellect clouded, has little recollection of her suffering, 101.

HEAD

Dull frontal headache (third day), 103.
Shooting semilateral pain from temples to vertex, both sides alike affected; shooting pain from nape of neck to vertex; head feels too large, 101.

MOUTH

Increase of saliva, with burning-pricking pain in the tongue; tongue feels sore at the tip, 101.

STOMACH

Great desire for raw oysters, 101.
Loss of appetite, 104. [1480.]
Anorexia (third day), 103.
Nausea (after third day), 103.
Vomiting (fifth day), 103.
Derangement of the whole digestive system was very marked for three weeks (in the fifth attack), 103.
In about an hour after the morning draught, she complained of burning pains in the stomach, sickness of the stomach, with dizziness; the stomach felt as though it were too large, hanging down like a bag; soon followed by chills, running from the feet to the head, followed by flashes of heat; chilled every morning during the inflammatory stage, from 2 to 3 o'clock; the pulse was full, varying in frequency from 84 to 98 betas per minute, 101.

ABDOMEN

Shooting pain in the region of the liver, thence to right shoulder, 101.

STOOL

Bowels costive, 103.
The fæces were unaltered until near the close of the inflammatory stage, when a painless, brown, watery diarrhœa set in; there was occasionally a little pain before getting up from stool, 101.

URINARY ORGANS

Urine felt hot when passed, 104.
Urine scanty, high-colored, and passed with a feeling of heat in the urethra (fifth to eighth day), 103. [1490.]
Urine red, frequent, and in small quantities, 101.

EXTREMITIES

Stiffness of the limbs (third day), 103.
Rheumatic stiffness of all the joints; pain shooting through the knee-joints from side to side; wandering pains; sometimes on one side, and then suddenly appearing on the other; pricking in the feet and fingers; feeling of great weakness; the flesh feels as though it would drop from the arms and limbs; pain seems deep, or as the patient expressed it, "Down to the bone;" all pains aggravated by gentle friction, relieved by hard rubbing only so long as rubbing was continued; wants to move the limbs frequently, which relieves the rheumatic pain, but soon has to change position for similar relief, 101.

GENERALITIES

Extreme languor (third day), 103.
Itching burning (especially in the morning), and vesicular eruption on the hands and wrist and about the eyes, with smarting and redness of the eyes, and photophobia twenty-four hours after gathering, but commencing about eighteen hours previously. Headache through the eyes and temples, with dulness and sleepiness thirty to thirty-six hours after, in the afternoon. Secretion of urine more copious and rather pale. Next day, itching, burning, and extension of the vesicular eruption around the eyes, upper lids, superciliæ, mouth, and external orifice of the ears, and drowsiness and dulness of spirits in the afternoon. Headache, slight photophobia, and obscured vision at times, as well as on the previous day. Itching of the scalp. Tongue more furred and appetite not as good. After midnight, on the beginning of the third day, pain, colic, rumbling, and griping in the bowels during repose, with sulphuretted eructations, and discharge of flatus. (Had eaten custard at noon before). Two or three years ago when similarly affected from preparing some, had loose evacuations in the morning for several days; recurring, in addition to the colic and cutting pains in the abdomen. Rather copious secretion of palish urine continues. Rheumatic pain in the lumbar region and through the hips. Nausea, want of appetite, and loathing of food on rising in the morning, and colic and griping, etc., continue, but better after moving about during the day. Tongue still more coated. Itching of the hands and face still continues, and more extended. Took a dose of Bryonia, and it is proper to remark, that I inhaled Bryonia rather freely the evening of the exposure, otherwise I would probably have suffered still more, as I had done two or three times in as many years before. Fourth day, symptoms all materially relieved excepting the eruption, which is more extended. Fifth, sixth, and seventh days, first eruption drying up, but coming out on new spots. From a boy up to 1842, I had always been able to handle this and the Rad., and be among it, without experiencing any inconvenience, 99.
All the sufferings were aggravated at 2 A.M., gradually improving till about 10 A.M., and growing worse towards evening, 101.

SKIN

The eruption made its appearance in the afternoon, after the second cup, of a bright redness, and an intense burning sensation; it soon covered the whole body from scalp to toes; the head and limbs badly swollen; the eruption, first smooth, soon assumed a minute vesicular appearance, which in places, ran together, forming small bulbs filled with serum. On the fifth day the vesicles began to dry up, followed by a desquamation of the cuticle, with intense itching; the cervical glands were swollen and sore to the touch when the eruption made its appearance; swelling of the eyelids, with œdema of the upper lid, 101.
Sunday (the third day) there was an eruption of itching red papules behind each ear and on the neck. On Monday these papules enlarged and became more numerous, and the eyelids were red and œdematous. Face was red and swelled; the cervical glands became tumid and slightly tender. On rising from bed she fainted, and again later in the day syncope came on. On Tuesday the rash had extended all over the face, over the hands, between the toes, and thighs. The itching was becoming more and more intolerable, and partook of a burning character. About the fifth day from their first appearance, the papules had become vesicles, which rapidly coalesced on the face and burst, emitting and acrid serum, which, on drying, formed a crust, so dense as to make the movement of the facial and buccal muscles painful. The nose and lips were much swollen. The œdema of the eyelids was so great as to close up the left eye entirely and the right partially. The burning and itching were somewhat relieved after the breaking of the vesicles. The acute stage was now over (six days after the commencement), but the cracking of the crusts over the face, etc., occasioned such a disfigurement that the lady was confined to the house for a fortnight more; by that time all traces of the skin erysipelas had disappeared, only an unusual irritability (to flannel, etc.) of the integument remained, and a hypersensitiveness to cold air. After a second exposure to the shrub several months later, there was very intense erysipelas of the face for four or five days. The next month there were two attacks. Five months later there was another attack, without fresh exposure, shortly after taking a bath rather too hot. The vesicles that appeared during the first two days were scattered and few, and strongly resembled the eruption of chicken-pox, 103.
A fifth attack came on after taking a bath rather too hot, five months after exposure. One of the earliest symptoms was the peculiar rheumatism of Rhus, affecting the legs chiefly, a stiffness of all the joints on first moving them; aching pains in the joints, constant feeling of lameness in the legs. This rheumatism continued nearly three weeks, 103.
A man was poisoned in California, in September, went back to the Eastern States, had an annual eruption for six successive years, and during the seventh attack was carried off by a pneumonia, which would not have been fatal probably to him when in his ordinary health, 102. [1500.]
Within eighteen hours his face had become red, inflamed, and hideously swollen, his eyes being both quite closed, and the itching and burning were most distressing. The local erysipelas and œdema lasted one week, the papules developing into vesicles, which became confluent, and followed the same course as in the lady's case. The general eruption extended over the whole body, and did not disappear for five weeks. A salt-and-water lotion relieved this the first attack, but failed in two subsequent attacks, 105.
Her face was so swollen, blistered, and mottled, that her best friends could not have recognized her; so badly were the integuments of the eyes swollen, that she could not see. She had a high fever and much burning-smarting pain over the face and head, 100.
The day after he had last been among these bushes, heat and itching of the scrotum and inner adjacent surface of the thighs commenced, worse on the hairy parts. Next day the characteristic papules, on a base of diffused redness and œdema, appeared on the forehead and neck, rapidly spreading in all directions, and accompanied with heat, itching, and burning, but with very little general pyrexia. The itching was relieved by cold, but aggravated by heat, warmth, and rubbing or scratching, 104.

SLEEP

Restless, sleepless nights, must move about in bed constantly, 101.

FEVER

The next day she felt, in the afternoon, chills and feverishness by turns, and general malaise, 103.
Slight amount of pyrexia (in the fifth attack), 103.
Head felt hot, 104.
