Today I did a weed search on this one plant that was getting huge
and found out it was giant ragweed. I let it grow to be about 3
feet wide and 3 feet tall with a huge trunk in one of the new
wildflower boxes. After confirming it was giant ragweed I decided
to pull it. The plant must have come from the new soil in that box
that I got from Menards. After pulling it it let out this huge
stench that made me nauseous and I got some of the stem juices on
my hands and that really stunk. I don't have any allergies and
never had a problem with pollen but right now, four hours later, my
sinuses are stuffed up and I have a headache. Does anyone know if
this will go away by itself or will I now have a permanent allergy
problem? Now I understand why so many people have to take drugs
like Clariton.


Only addicts have to take drugs. Some people require prescription or
over the counter medication to preserve quality of life.
