Do Fresh Flowers Cause Allergic Reactions?
A couple weeks back I got red puffy patches on my arms after handling some fresh flowers so I figured I was allergic. Since then wherever pressure is applied to the skin on arms or legs, i.e. crossing my legs or carrying books or computer the skin gets red, puffy and somewhat itchy. Also any contact with certain carpets or upholstery will result in red, itchy, puffy skin.
