Prognosis
Elm Itch presents itself initially as a triangular rash about an inch in size. It continues to spread across the body, becoming more dangerous as it goes. Scratching the itch will not only spread it faster, but also create open wounds which can open up the opportunity for other ailments. If left untreated, the rash can cover the afflicted individuals' entire body, though it would be rare for someone to survive that long.
