Fresh cut wood is probably one of my worst allergens. Gets me out of splitting wood for the fireplace at least. How in the world I grew up surrounded by forest and spending most of my youth hiking in them and spending the day there is beyond me. Never understood the whole allergy thing......when it develops, why, etc - NOTHING but a mystery.
