I have one big problem, we can no longer use wattles, in fact we will be

That's interesting -- I was under the impression that most wattles had been
found to be bird- rather than wind-pollinated, so the risk of hay-fever from
wattles is supposed to be low. Many wattles flower at the same time as more
allergenic plants and so have been (apparently wrongly) blamed for hay-fever.

Anyone know The Truth on this? Is it possible that David doesn't have to
remove all his wattles?
