Alergic reaction WOW

[Javelin]

This morning I ran mytractor down the road to bushhog around a ladys driveway. I had made it up and down the driveway one time when my dad pulled up and said let me take over. He did and I headed to my house. On the way there my eyes were itching badly. When I got home and looked in the mirror my right eye was almost swole shut and as big as a golfball.

I took some benedrill and it started to get smaller, that was around 9 this morning. I am just now waking up and it is still swole just a little.
I have never had a reaction while mowing and I only mowed for maybe 10 minutes.

Allergic to work... dang..i never tried that one...

Kinda what I thought LOL. I have mowed probably 100 acres this year already and have done way more than that in years past. I have no idea what caused my reaction, but it looked like I got punched by Mike Tyson in his good years. It is still a bit swole and blurry to see.

The ONLY thing different that I did than normal is that I had no sunglasses on.

could something have bitten you that you weren't aware of?

[Brannon74]

gnats make me swell like that and I never feel the bite.

Been having the same problem with mowing this year. Sneazing, coughing, and waking up with eyes almost shut the next morning. Gonna get me some goggles and start wearing a dust mask to see if that will help.

And, it don't get any better, as you get older.
Benadryl is a life saver.

[bboswell]

It just takes one particular weed in the mix to set you off sometimes.
