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. |

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. KB |

And I think most airborne allergies come from the pollen which I guess doesn't get real bad unless the grass goes to seed. - I'm just guessing on that point ;) -- Richard Thoms President - Top Service Pros, Inc.
