Both my children are allergic to pollen.One is allergic to tree pollen and the other to grass pollen! My son is also allergic to some fresh fruit,apples,pears,plums,cherries,strawberries.As the fruits were not the same Species or Genus I looked up what they had in common and found they were all belonged in the Rosaceae family. He can eat them all once cooked as it kills the enzyme causing the reaction.

I've never had a problem before but when I was pruning a large buddleia today I had that awful tickle then cough I have had for several years when anywhere near a London plane when it's shedding fibres in late Spring. I had to go and find a nose and eye mask to complete the job. Maybe we get more allergies as we get older.
We live by a large plot of land owned by an estate. They pruned several Buddleias about two weeks ago and left them on the ground. There are at least four giant bushes left with seeds on. I can't stop the runny nose. Will this ever end or will I have to move?
Hi - my sister and I spent a couple of hours yesterday cutting back a rather large Buddleia in our front garden and since then we have both had sore throats and feel like the start of a cough. I've never heard of Buddleia being poisonous and wondered if anyone else had experienced similar symptoms?
I often get a dry tickly cough when pruning Buddleia or putting the bits through the shredder. I tried using a cheap DIY dust mask, but it was more trouble than it was worth - it diverted my exhaled breath upwards and fogged my glasses, so I gave it up. The cough stops quite soon once I get away from the Buddleia.
When I cut back branches on a huge buddlea bush last week it made me cough continuously, reminding me that the same thing happened last year. Just Googled and found this thread plus the info in the screenshot below...
