Just saying what the dr told me....except the eating part.
I say start with a 1/2 leaf a day. Maybe clink can slip you a little bit.
Talk about toxic crap!!
I hear you dude.
I went and got tested for a batch of stuff at an allergist a couple years ago.
The main thing they stressed was highly allergic to cats.
I'm allergic to dogs too. All I have to do is spend a few hours in a house that has dogs and I can feel myself weezing once I get away from the source. I am also evidently allergic to some local flora - especially Acacia trees. I am sensitive to something at Pinns too - especially when it is hot out. I had some pretty intense swelling and itching on the skin under my eyes last year at Pinns and at the Alabama Hills - undoubtedly a desert or desert-like shrub or two or three or four or...
The only thing that helped was cortisone cream for several days. All of that stuff is fairly new - within the last year or two.
Life is full of surprises...
