On Friday afternoon I noticed I had what looked like a pimple on my eyelid, and it itched like crazy. (Not a stye; but actually on the outside of the lid). Saturday I woke to my eyelid being swollen. Checked with the eye doctor who confirmed it was just allergies, and the eye is fine. Sunday and yesterday I woke to it being swollen completely shut. Fun fun. The whole left side of my face was itching. It's a lot better today. But last night DH commented that it still looks like I have a black eye. Oh dear! I looked, and indeed it looks like a black eye! This wouldn't be an issue I guess except that yesterday I introduced myself to two new neighbors. Didn't remember that the eye was swollen, let alone realise that it looked like an injury.
So today I keep wondering if I should mention to them that my husband doesn't hit me. O.o
Are you taking anything for this? Benadryl by night and Zyrtec by day is what I do to treat it.

Yes, I am. Thanks for asking.
I pretty much have allergies from January through September, so I take stuff anyway. I take Allegra and Dymista by day and Benadryl by night. Plus my allergies have caused dry eyes so bad that I can't be accurately tested for new glasses, so I'm using drops (so far unsuccessfully) too. This happened to be totally unrelated to the others. *sniffle*
It'll take a while to get out of the house. You can wash your bedding in Nature's Miracle (they actually have a skunk version). Wash anything fabric that came into contact with you or her.
I'll go pick that up on my lunch break. Thank you. I feel dumb saying this, but I really didn't know skunk smell could be like this. It is horrible.
The first time we experienced a full skunk spray was with my sister's dog (we were dog-sitting). We washed her 3 times outside, and then it was at least 5 days before I could sit near her without getting a headache. It was truly horrible, and I can only imagine how much worse for her with her better nose.

It really has not gotten any better this evening after all my hard work to try and neutralize it. I want to move. Lol. I totally feel bad for my dog, too. I think she thinks I'm mad at her. I'm considering sending her to a professional groomer tomorrow. That still won't help my house though! ::cries::
eta - I can't pet her and this dog lives for pets. My poor baby!
