NOTE: This all happened a year or more ago. I'm bringing it up now because I recently noticed more of those invasive little plants in my garden, and I was intent on "solving the mystery."

Back when it first happened, I had gone to my doctor. I'd never experienced anything like this before and was determined to find the cause. My doctor had said it looked like dyshidrosis. When I looked dyshidrosis up, it said:

"California, plants like poison oak, fig, and ivy can cause allergic reactions, including dermatitis, which can be a trigger for dyshidrosis."

Mystery solved, I would say. Thank you all for your input!! 😎🇺🇸
