OK I have poison ivy on my face and I think I got it from my helmet straps. I think the straps must have grazed a vine when I hung the helmet on the bike for minute on Sunday. And I mean a minute - the place was closed so I put it right back on and continued my ride.

So.... how to wash the straps sufficiently without reinfecting myself.. and I just realized, everything I throw inside the helmet, and the bag I throw the helmet in also has to get sanitized somehow. Ack!

I am so sensitive to the stuff that I'm even considering throwing it all out.

Guess I'm cleaning the bike tonight too.
