There are so many possibilities with symptoms that are so similar it is definitely hard to put a finger on it.

After much suffering it was determined that it was caused by liquid soap from a dispenser in one of the hotels or cabins we stayed in along the way. We now travel with our own soap and never use those soap dispensers, that rash ruined the last leg of our trip - he was eventually covered from head to toe. It took about two weeks to completely disappear. http://www.naturalnews.com/044475_allergic_rash_methylisothiazolinone_antibacterial_soaps.html<br /><br />I love your blog, check it the first thing every morning and enjoy traveling along with you and Ruth!!Don and Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601602449042207046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-78035544823767061212015-11-23T08:21:03.197-05:002015-11-23T08:21:03.197-05:00I think that's a Harpy Eagle...
