Hi,


My son likes to play on the grass. He picks the grass, Daisy's and dandelions and throws them in the air. Recently on his throwing hand, he's been getting large red welts. They turn into dry cracked skin. obviousky we have sought medical advice re helping the skin. But we can't find the cause. Does anyone know of any common garden plant that does this? We are in a new house so I'm not exactly familiar with what we have.


Thanks

I get excema from lots of plants - particularly those with white milky sap when the stem is broken, such as you get with dandelions. Bad too if I get scraped by some plants and the skin is broken. You could try treating with a mild antihistamine or hydrocortisone cream. No long term solution I've found other than avoidance - and treating quickly before the reaction gets going and spreads.

    • As a former Pug owner I get really upset and angry when I see owners of brachycephalic breeds (all bull dog breeds, pugs etc) taking them out in hot sun..Those breeds should be walked very early in the morning and at dusk ideally or if they need a pee just pop out for a moment or two..do NOT drag the dog around panting like a fur accessory. I REALLY want to 'have a word' with the owners but when i once did that a couple of years ago (frenchie pup being dragged along panting in the heat kept trying to lie down in obvious distress) its female owner told me to f-off and mind my own buisness so now I avoid the aggro.
