| I pulled off the ugly spent blooms today on a bunch of lungwort and I went nuts afterward because my arms itched so bad. Anybody know what this is? Or am I just allergic to it? |

| Either you're allergic to that plant, or it was covered with pollen from a different plant to which you are allergic. The experts never warn you that there are TONS of plants that can make you itch. For me, it's regular old ivy; go figure. |

| I have the same problem with pulmonaria/lungwort. Pulmonaria (and several other members of the boraginaceae family) are covered in tiny coarse hairs that cause skin irritation in some people. |
