Ohio summers — not exactly a gift to anyone dealing with prurigo nodularis! Heat and humidity are well-known triggers for PN, and they can seriously ramp up that stabbing, pins-and-needles itching you're describing.

You're asking a really smart question about fungal and yeast connections. It's absolutely worth raising with your doctor, especially since certain infections have been linked to PN flares. If you feel like you've been ignored, here are some steps that might help you get taken seriously:

- Write it down — bring a list of your symptoms, when they started, and how heat/humidity affects them
- Be direct — tell your doctor you'd specifically like to be tested for fungal or yeast infections given your symptoms
- Mention your family history — your cousin's experience is relevant context worth sharing
- Ask for a referral — if your current doctor isn't listening, a dermatologist or specialist may be more responsive

You deserve to have your concerns heard and investigated properly. Don't give up pushing for answers!
