Anyone else have allergies to vegetable foliage?
I've just picked some courgettes and both arms are itching all over. I
get the same reaction picking runner beans. Spouse gets a similar
response with conifer foliage.

I must remember to wear a long sleeve shirt to pick runner beans. I've
planted a different variety of courgette seeds this year by accident,
the fruit are a deeper green and the leaves quite thorny - so I got
prickled as well as itches. frown They are growing fast though and
have reached the point that courgettes are being produced faster than we
can eat / freeze them. Pulled a small (10") marrow off just now.
