I can sympathize. He looks like I used to feel before I outgrew most of my hay fever.

Ash as in what? The world’s #1 deadite killer?

Had to look that one up too.An ash tree grass allergy is an adverse reaction by the body’s immune system to pollen produced by ash trees. The pollen from ash trees is considered to have a relatively moderate to high potential for allergy.

Yup, the worst thing we ever did was go to the Smokies to see all the trees in color, one year. About put me in the hospital. Was the most miserable trip we ever took.

Except here in the northeast, ash tree leaves are yellow. Those look more like maple leaves in color.

I DIFMT FNOW IETHRE.

River Birch gets me going… Some years, I lose my voice for several weeks. Frustrating!

A friend of mine was in a car accident several years ago (before I knew him) he was badly injured and really out of it when the ambulance arrived so he couldn’t answer any questions as they treated him. The next thing he knew he woke up in a hospital bed with a very concerned doctor looking down at him, “Did you know you were alergic to (I forget the painkiller)?” “No, no I didn’t.” “Well you are so next time make sure they give you actual morphine instead of man made morphine, you almost died from the alergic reaction.” Ever since I heard that story I always answer “None that I’m aware of,” when someone asks if I have any drug alergies.

Ash if…

Ash-shoe?

Not good considering Ash is one of the most popular and prolific deciduous trees…

Just wait till Yellowstone blows its top.

The best teacher is experience!!
