I finished at Katahdin early September 2018 and when I got home it took many months for my injuries from briars and prickly bushes to heal. Legs and arms covered with scratches and punctures. My exercise around home was on well established trails and some were even paved. Until about a month ago that is, when I got back out into the less established trails and even some bushwhacking. Same thing again. I'm covered with the same injuries and they seem to be taking forever to heal over. I get scabs and they come off but the underlying injury is not healed and this repeats and looks to be next spring before they are gone. Question - is this normal or is it likely that I am having some sort of allergy to the shrubs etc. Also, I'm 70 so I guess it could be just getting old and slower to heal up. Anybody experience this or have some insight about it? Thanks. Trailname = CBiscuit
