Ok, I guess it's time to address this problem. Everytime I get near soil any kind of soil. I start to itch. Potting soil, garden soil no difference. If I'm working on containers it's just my hands and arms. If I'm out in the garden it's my feet and legs as well. Gloves, socks, boots, long sleeves and pants don't make a difference. I don't break out in a rash or anything thank heavens I just itch. I come in and wash and flush the skin but that doesn't help either.

Anyone have any ideas? I do not want to give up my plants.

Antihistamines!!!!

I am allergic to green things that flower and bloom. Thank goodness for antihistamines!
