juliette Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Brilliant idea But I'm afraid the jail time *might* not be worth it.That would depend on how many of the inmates and jailors have hayfever... Link to comment
Kiwifruit Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Come to think of it...hmm...PASS ME THOSE RAGWEED SEEDS! I'm off to the UK to get caught at customs... Link to comment
krazykat Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Come to think of it...hmm...PASS ME THOSE RAGWEED SEEDS! I'm off to the UK to get caught at customs... We don't need ragweed... rapeseed is bad enough when it is flowering... I hate that stuff! Link to comment
Aimes Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Wow, you allergy sufferers are definitely making me jealous. Link to comment
Kiwifruit Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I don't have allergies and I prefer cold sneezes over allergy but the idea of being responsible for causing people all over the UK to have allergic fits is DEFINITELY appealing... Link to comment
Guest ilovesneezinglol Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Haha, Jail time might be nice.. But whats the best type of flower to give some one a sneezing fit in New Zealand? ON the North Island Link to comment
Lynne Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hm. Discovered today that I am definitely sensitive to the scent of lavender. I guess I never discovered it before because I think lavender smells terrible and avoid it whenever possible LOL but this cuticle stuff I've been using has lavender oil in it, and I scratched the area just under my nose this morning after putting it on... gah.

Once I had this body lotion that was lavender and musk. . . . ugh. Link to comment
CarellFan Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I think I read somewhere that it's the center part of the lilly that people are most allergic to (I think it is orangish?) and that many florists will cut that part out for that reason and just leave the white part... the center part is what spreads the pollen... so when you're getting lillies, ensure that they are fully intact, as nature intended... Regarding the ragweed... I have often wished they would bottle it and sell it! Essence de Ragweed... perfume? Surely that could be imported to England and elsewhere where supplies are low?

Lynne Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 My sister-in-law's mother brought her a bouquet of tiger lilies while she was in the hospital, and they still had the stamens, pollen intact. I discovered this when my brother accidentally brushed up against them and ended up with red powder all over his back..... and then the inevitable *sigh* Link to comment

ON the North IslandAre you from NZ too? And the North Island? SWEET!! *waves* And welcome to the forum Apparently here the introduced plants are the most allergenic, especially English Plantain...though it's not very pretty. If you find a pretty, highly allergenic flower, let me know, I shall start a garden of it...we can pollute the North Island with its pollen together Link to comment

I think that has more to do with the strength of their scent than anything else. Link to comment
Razman20 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I would have to voice in with lilacs as being the most sneeze producing flower/scent for me too. Just a slight whiff of the flowers sets me off for quite some time with a bout of big and uncontrollable sneezing fits. Link to comment
