Yesterday while out hanging a cam I was pushing through an open spot with tall weeds I felt something brush against my neck and it was like someone poured acid on me. It wasn't nettles and I'm not allergic to sumac, ivy, or oak I can roll in the stuff and not get it. I didn't see what plant did it and I wasn't going back to figure it out. Within 5 minutes my neck was on fire like a jellyfish sting and turning my head left or right made the spot tighten like a sunburn and burn. I took a pic in the field and it showed nothing.
It quit burning about 20 min later and by the time I got home it looked like this.
Can't feel it this morning by the mark is still there.
I don't know wtf it was and I have never ran into it before. I spend a ton of time in the woods and never had something like this happen. And I'm the king of busting brush and weeds because I don't have a fear of ivy or oak. Anyway. That sucked.
