If provider had poison oak and wasn't still all itchy and scratchy but still had some rather well...you know flaky red spots do you think she should A) Not work no matter how broke and needy she is B)only see regulars and should she tell them or not C) just go on the appointment and explain it when she gets there or D) just not say anything at all
I guess the answers to this question should apply to a few other things as well like if you are injured, sunburned, Lacerated (a bad shave experience in the nether reasons could curtail certain expected activities) or otherwise marred or incapacitated should a provider disclose this before seeing a client? I expect some interesting answers on this one.
. . . intends to pay full price for full service (not necessarily "FS," but you know what I mean) and deserves to be informed when services will be limited, or even hazardous.
On the other hand, a customer with poison oak or toenail fungus should let the provider know about that too. Just common courtesy.
As a wilderness lover, I've often encountered such oak, ivy, and sumac. Hydrocortisone cream applied generously gets rid of it in hours. The rash is very contagious of course and easily transmitted to a chess partner. It's like having the flu. Stay home and recover. Don't pass it on. I would never again see a vixen who gave me something contagious such as that. Those pink lotions that dry up, incidentally, are way-outdated and ineffective.
How about clients? I was on the other end of that scenario recently, after having come in contact with poison ivy a couple weeks before. I don't think it rules out hobbying but I made sure she knew what the blisters were and for my sake as well as hers advised her to not massage those areas (lower calf, so avoiding as possible). I may be wrong, but allergic reactions to poison ivy and oak aren't something transmitable to another person.
I remember rafting the Grand Canyon a few years ago. One person got poison ivy at Vasey's Paradise, and again at Deer Creek Falls, and transmitted it to his wife and everybody who shook hands with him. I had a huge tube of hydrocortison and was able to help everybody bring it under control. Olde Boy Scout!
Yeah, there's no doubt that contact the same day can pass the itch to someone else. My recent experience happened when I was pulling weeds in the back yard, wearing gloves, so my hands didn't get it, but slapped a hornet that had landed on my bare leg. Next day there was a patch of red in the shape of my hand, even though I washed that area throughly right after a smashed the bug. It probably could have passed the rash had someone touched that area that day. I was referring to seeing a provider a week or two later when the poison is long gone but the redness is still there.
Acuple years ago I was working in the yard, drinking a beer or two and had to take a leak. Turns out I had gotten some poison ivy on my hand, and in the process got some on Mr. Happy. What a mistake that was!
Well thanks everyone for the advice my "friend" with the poison oak thanks you too. She did go on an apointment and told her client that she had it before...no she is no longer in the contagious phase just a bit embarrassed because she is a bit spotty. Any way I now know more about poison oak and ivy then I ever did before...
