People Are Losing Their Sh*t for No Reason Over a Girl Who Got Poison Ivy in Her Eyes

If you spend time in the woods, you'll probably come across poison ivy or poison oak. Just remember "leaves of three, let it be." Otherwise you might end up looking like Emily Petrozza, a 21-year-old from Connecticut who's now internet famous after a tweet showing her swollen eyes racked up more than 35,000 retweets. Petrozza thinks the poison ivy got into her eyes when she took her contacts out after a day outdoors (cringe!).

But here's the thing: People get poison ivy in their eyes all the time, they end up looking just like this photo, and the rash and swelling go away after a few days of using over-the-counter ointments or a prescription med. This is one of those times where the internet needs to simmer down.
