Which plant can cause Asthma?

I'd be inclined to day lots of different ones. Lots of (Australian) natives can set me off when in flower, anything with a strong scent.. wisteria nearly kills me as do strong smelling roses, wattles, grevillias. Apr 02 05, 10:14 PM

Ragweed is a favorite for causing Hayfever in the States. Apr 02 05, 10:32 PM

In Australia, pollens from spring-flowering grasses are a major cause of hay fever and associated allergies. Because grass flowers are insignificant, native shrubs which flower at the same time (notably wattles) are blamed,often unjustly. Their pollen grains are too heavy to be as widely dispersed on the wind as are pollens Apr 03 05, 12:16 AM

io thought it was that plant/weed that you can pick and blow all the seeds away Apr 03 05, 9:07 AM

Pis-en-lie? Dandelions are a problem, I suppose, but grasses are more of an issue than anything else, as they have high pollen counts, and the pollen is easily lost to the wind. Apr 03 05, 10:49 AM

Pis-en-lit, please. When I drove a taxi, I used to take some Irish tinker children to school, and they had never heard of those yellow flowers being called dandelions. They were piss-in-beds to them. (They never used the usual English pronoun for one female, either. They would say I done it, he done it, but her done it. She is too close in sound to sidh to risk saying it.) Apr 03 05, 12:18 PM

Sidh? Sorry, I never took french. German is much more my language of choice. Lowenzahne to them. Apr 03 05, 2:42 PM

Sure, and you being named Flynn, I was thinking you'd be knowing the Irish word you shouldn't be saying out aloud, just in case certain folks might be coming to pay you a visit... Apr 03 05, 2:50 PM

Is it the Mulberry or Cactus or Parthenium? Apr 03 05, 5:58 PM
