The irritation began soon after the young girl washed her hands in a creek and dried them with poison ivy leaves. The itching spread with every scrape of her nail into a rash.
Her mother thought nothing of it.
"Just quit scratching and it'll go away," she said.
Soon after, the girl's hands and throat began to swell.
A little boy ran to the girl's mother and shouted, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It was just a joke. I didn't mean it."
No vehicle could drive fast enough.
