Tomato

(1/1)

SilverLining:
DH appears to have had a reaction to touching a tomato plant.  Would that mean eating the tomatoes would be risky?

hezzier:
Not necessarily.  Was the plant treated with pesticides?  Does he normally eat tomatoes without a problem?

So my sister has a friend who has to cover all skin in order to mow the lawn in Maine due to a caterpillar.

Could you have something similar?

SilverLining:
No sign of caterpillars. And the plants are in my yard, so no pesticides.

He’s never had problems eating tomatoes, but he’s also never previously had problems with the plant. I did say, at least we have Claritin, and I’ll let him use one of my epi’s. He actually laughed.
