Pohotukawa allergy

User
18 years ago

Hi,

Have any of you known of anyone with an allergy to these plants. I am asking for someone who suffered a quite severe reaction to them. I had never heard of it before.

Cheers,

Dee.

    Hi Dee,
    Can't say I have either! But it wouldn't surprise me, what with the huge numbers of allergies that are around. Was the Pohutukawa in flower at the time - i.e. did the person have an asthma-like reaction? or was it more a skin irritation?

    Sorry I can't help much more than offer sympathies to the person!

    Not that I have heard of, but I knew someone who was allergic to nz flax, phormiums.
