Usually my allergies are skin allergies. I get intense irritation from even the slightest rubbing of things like sunflower leaves. I have had extreme skin breakdown from tea tree oil. I am very careful about what I put on my skin. However, this year I discovered blooming kochia will give me a full-blown upper respiratory <\/em>reaction. Not as bad as asthma or constricted breathing. But, oh, the sneezing, itching eyes, and runny nose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We didn’t have a lot of kochia on our previous acre. It was more suburban. At our new place, we are surrounded by large cultivated fields and hundreds of acres of wild BLM land. The neighbors on both sides of us and across the street are going for the natural landscape look. Plus, we have some natural habitat down by the river. All of this means that I have a battle with kochia that I have never had before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
