Hi , I Am An Er Nurse. I Had A

Hi , I am an Er nurse. I had a pt the other day that mentioned after I undressed her. did an EJ, etc etc etc that she developed a rash the day before. I didn't think twice about it. The next day I devevloped an terrible itchy rash starting at my wrists and fingers. Later that day I had what looked like hives up my right torso, behind my knees, and at my underwear and bra line. I have had a steroid shot, been taking an antihistamine and have been applying Benadryl cream. This rash just sort of subsides then shows up like hives anywhere and everywhere then goes away. It really seems to go crazy in the evening. I have had a few bouts of scabies that I have caught from patients in the past and I am very susepectible to scabies, but this looks different. I have had Lymmes disease in the past treated successfully. I also have just gotten over a viral infection a week ago and have had a flu shot 5 days ago. Help! Itchy nurse
