Default Fescue and allergies

Is it generally true that Fescue is the source of many allergies people
have in Summer? I asked here recently about replanting and overseeding my
sun drenched lawn and the response I got back was "fescue". Now I'm
wondering if in doing that I'm going to be feeding my hay fever during the
summer.


It isn't the grass, it is the pollen. We have a dog that has terrible
allergy problems. After allergy tests ($$), it was determined that fescue
and bermuda pollen are two of her biggest sensitivities.

Not much you can do to eliminate the problem, given that airborne grass
pollen travels a long way.

So, to answer your question... I dunno if it is "generally" true that fescue
is the source of many allergies, but it IS a source for some allergies.
