HELP! Hungry, happy, haunted homemakers have heard!

I'm so allergic to horses that I break out in hives when I touch them.

Should have seen me after a spring pony party a few years ago. I looked like I just suffered a bad breakup and had been crying and rubbing my eyes for 8 straight hours.

I thought I was allergic to deer b/c I petted a tamed one at a children's home & was really sick the rest of the day.

I should have known. I'd skinned deer, scraped deer hides, even dragged one into my truck by his antlers after he destroyed my hood (a surprising amt of unbruised meat from that incident). N/P with any of that.

I heard later that the offending deer was regularly dusted for fleas, and realized that I *had* noticed he was putting off little poofs of dust when people stroked him. No flea powder for me, that's for sure!

But I'm confused... you have horses, right? So how do you deal with that?

Chug Benadryl like I get paid to.


They're worth it.

I'm highly allergic to hay too. Horses will eventually be the death of me one way or another.

Kind of like me and sage grouse hunting. I am very allergic to sage brush. I would hunt sage grouse with a handkerchief in each hand, popping 12 hour allergy pills every 3 to 4 hours while trying to draw a bead on a flying grouse with my shotgun. Most of them escaped unharmed. This included sneezing about every 30 seconds.

Good times, huh?

Sniffle sniffle sniffle.

Miserably good times. I would go up on the mountain to sleep at night to be above the sage brush pollen.

I can't even get close to hay without my eyes watering and stinging, and my nose getting all runny.
I'd like to get a rabbit or two (or three) when I'm older so hopefully orchard grass will work better than timothy

My lot is still for sale. 8000ft up. Sierra Nevada Mtns. With cabin, water, and electrical pole.
Only problem, very hard to get to during snow times. Just saying
