absolutely pulse i don’t doubt that your colleague suffers from an lergy, I tried to simultaneously figure out what’s weong with me :p apologies, didn’t want to cause a misunderstanding or offend anyone. definitely can feel you though I love touching and smelling canna so much, i wouls truely consider it a punishment to have allergic reactions to this plant .

I get this, in the U.K. we have a thing called hayfever which means I get streaming eyes, sneezing, runny nose. Being around weed brings out the same symptoms. If I touch the plants I get red welts too

An antihistamine such as loratadine makes it bearable but some strains I just cannot grow

its BS, my bad.
but i also have similar symptoms (strong heatflashes, excessive sweating, face twitches) and
cannot rule it out completely but all of the symptoms mentioned above also occur even during times when im not around cannabis for months or years. what do you think, psychological or an actual allergy? dont have any allergies to my knowledge but who knows really... definitely not as bad as the pic pulse posted. but still annoying.

Other things can cause the same reaction

I’m definitely not allergic to cannabis, but I can tell you forsure that live resins are a skin irritant for me. I have to wear long sleeves around the ladies, or I start itching like crazy wherever I brush up against them. I typically take my allergy medicine before a long day of gardening, which seems to help.

Trimming is difficult, I typically hand that task off to others, but if I took a nasal decongestant it’s usually not as bad. Clipping dried buds off their stems is murderous work for me, all of those tiny kief bits floating in the air cause me to start sneezing non-stop & then my asthma kicks in.. so not sure if that’s asthma related or what not.

Not big issues in my world, nothing some over the counter meds & a long sleeve & gloves don’t fix.

Peanut allergies have been linked to excessive antibiotic use on infants. Studies have shown when the proper bacteria is cultured in the person with the allergy, it goes away and they can eat peanuts.

I'm wondering how many with cannabis allergies had high antibiotic use when they were infants? Could possibly be a different bacteria? Definitely be great to see a cure for cannabis allergies.
