Apparently I'm Very Allergic to Grass

I went to the allergist today for the first time ever because I've been having some fairly severe congestion that I figured was allergies of some sort. Turns out I was right. They tested for about 50 different things and I was at least slightly allergic to most of them. But the biggest reaction was the various types of grass.

This is my arm after about 45 minutes and some hydrocortisone. It was much worse initially. When the doctor came in to check the results of the test her exact words were "Whoa!". That's never what you want to hear at the doctor's office. The grass reaction was even bigger than the histamine control test. The doctor said that doesn't happen very often.

I figured I was probably allergic but not this allergic. Whenever I cut the grass I get sneezing, so I wear a bandana over my nose and mouth. The doctor suggested I might want to pay someone to cut my grass. I've been cutting my grass for a long long time, so I'm definitely not up for paying someone else to do it. It's manageable, so long as I cover my face.
