Me and my kids get itchy red bumps from sitting or rolling on the lawn, does that happen to everyone?

My mom is allergic to grass. I'm not, but some people are

ZombieKitten said:

It happens to me all the time, I think its an allergy or something because it dosent happen to everyone. was the grass wet or fresh cut by any chance?

Is it chiggers?

ZombieKitten said:

No

When I walk barefoot across gravel my feet itch like mad til I run them under water though

JuliePurplehead said:

no it's more like a rash than bites

my son does- EVERY TIME he rolls in the grass
all his hair follicles become inflamed- and itchy as all hell

and heat rash - he was covered on his birthday- poor thing

and hay fever


taking him to organise allergy tests in 2 wks

Hey, yeah, I get that one too. What's with that? Do you happen to have very dry, calloused, scaley feet as well?

so it's not a rare thing then!

ZombieKitten said:

and the rugrat wont let me put cream on him- he prefers to scratch

prb said:

spray chilled calamine lotion all over him, it feels yucky to scratch

ZombieKitten said:

his last bout- on his birthday- the chemist gave us some animine which has calamine in it- he was pink all over

My eldest is allergic to grass, I give him Claratin.

mine takes anti histimines- and when he had his eyes checked today- they could see allergins under his lids

poor little mite

Raze said:

No I have very pampered feet and I go barefoot more so then not

grass does it to me sometimes... then again there ain't much of it here n AZ i guess that is a good thing since my daughter is allergic to it and some trees... milk... soy... peanuts.. cats... poor thing will never know the joys of chocolate .....

my minni pin makes me itchy .....

Oh yeah, I have grass allergies as well as hay fever.I get hives and my eyes itch from grass.

I have to take allergy meds to be around grass and if I try to go in the barn without my meds, first I lose my voice and then my throat starts to swell. I love being in the barn but I try to stay out as much as possible
Also allergic to some cats and dogs, not horses or birds though.

Claratin (s?) is a antihistamine (I think ) but the Benadryl, Zyrtec, Allegra, all make him too sleepy. Walks around like a zombie if he takes the other stuff. He's also very allergic to maple tree pollen... good for me to know when the trees are in bloom. I just have him shower as soon as he comes in from out doors and that helps alot!

ZombieKitten said:

It's my eyes that get all watery and itchy.

paintedlady said:

claratin is a anti histimine- mine used to take zyrtec- now takes a generic brand of zyrtec called c-zine


zyrtec- not claratin edit

prb said:

ooh will look into it, does it come in tablets?

ZombieKitten said:

c- zine is an amcal generic product - comes in tablet form for 6 and over
(active ingredient cetirzine hydrochloride -its a generic of zyrtec- not claratine as i said b4 )

rugrat takes 1/2 and hubby takes a full one- saves buying 2 sep things

Grass gives me the munchies.
