So, I'm randomly perusing the scientific literature (I just like to say
that), and I come across at least two articles about contact dermatitis
caused by orchids. One, a lady with a reaction to her Cymbidium
collection, and the other a report of a reaction to Paph. haynaldianum
(both in Archives of Dermatology). There may be more.

Anybody out there have an allergic reaction to their orchids? If you
did, would you still grow them??

more orchids, obtain more credit
