I just remembered something important!
When I was a child I would break out in a rash every time my skin touched grass! I had contact dermatitis to grass itself, not just the pollen. It would itch horribly and have red welts. So I must have had this tendency from childhood. Everyone thought it was the strangest thing and often didn't believe it was from the grass. Well....seems like more than a coincidence to me! I'm going to mention it to the dermatologist and my allergist. And then I'm going hire someone to get rid of the GRASS!!!

Yes, that's true. We always had to keep you off the grass. Bee stings, too. You had a bad reaction like your grandmother, only not as bad. She would go into anaphylactic shock ! I remember when you were stung by a yellow jacket and your arm became so swollen I was afraid the skin would burst. The Dr.told me to give you a teaspoon of benadryl cough syrup; the swelling eventually went down, but it took some time before your arm went back to its normal size.
There is probably an inherited component as well---all of those red heads with sensitive skin.
Rest as much as you can.
We love you, Becca.
