I have been stabbed by (I think) A dead Japonica. Again.

Again, my arm has swollen up like a football.

Does anyone know why this happens and what one should do about it (apart
from spend half a day at the Doc's again, getting antibiotics)?


Get rid of the japonica. I'm not joking. If you have that kind of allergic
reaction and it's getting worse, not better, I'd avoid that particular plant
like the plague.
