This happens to me every time I trim. I have a specific long sleeve shirt that I use, and gloves. It still gets me a little though.

No big time allergies. Dust affects me. I have a big fucking Roman nose and can smell shit on the wind from a mile away. Weirdly I can only inhale through one nostril at a time. At some point that’ll block up and the other one becomes unblocked. I thought I was the olnly one till a girl I worked with announced she had it and had an op to fix it. The op actually gave her other problems though. I’ve read particulates from pollution can bind to pollen exacerbating any allergy.
I do get weird asthma like attacks these days though. I bubbled some old trim I had the other day and my airways tightened up big time. I love joints but am going to have to vape more (which I like less) and edibles which I’ve never done and am lazily, slowly realising am gonna have to do as well.
I’m half Latin American and I have this sort of baby soft skin - not trying to brag but have noticed all my latin american fam have the same skin type. I’m pretty hairless as well. Girls or should I say ladies (I’m middle aged ffs) always remark how little arm hair I have.
I always recommend anyone wear a mask if they’re around or handling old plant matter. The shit n spores that come off that is deleterious to your health.

Oh shit. Hold on. I’m allergic to cats. Apparently it’s something in their saliva. Not allergic to pussy though, thankfully. Apologies for the bad language/jokes.

Yeah. I sometimes get skin irritation from the plants.
It’s not super severe, for me. Nothing like coming in contact with Hops vines (I have a few of those growing in my yard, and skin coming into contact with those is a poison ivy like rash that lasts days! I’ve learned to wear leather gloves and a long sleeve shirt when trimming those)
Pollen from male cannabis plants sends my allergies into orbit too.

Yeah the hives go away after like 45 min to an hr. Just was curious how common this was.
I dry trim for this reason

I get it bad with just about every plant. I can’t tell if its from neem or not. I don’t think so. I wear long sleeves and gloves now.

@SquirtleSquad try something like this, it will reduce the redness and desire to scratch the itch.

I also take a Zyrtec an hour or so before having to get into the weeds. That way, the reactions aren’t as bad. Doesn’t get itchy everywhere.
