Giant Ragweed
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. |

Everybody is allergic a bit to ragweed pollen, you managed to get a
snoot full. he dosage makes the poison. Bennedryl works pretty good, so does rinsing as much of your nose as you can with shower or sink sprayer. |

Some people require prescription or over the counter medication to preserve quality of life. -- Travis in Shoreline Washington |
