Hay allergy?

I'm beginning to think I might have a hay allergy. Every day, twice a day, when I give out the hay rations (sometimes more) my throat seizes up, and I have coughing/sneezing fits. After handing it out I get unbelievably itchy/painful hands. No rash or anything.

It's only just started in the past month, or something.... :?

How strange. (don't fret...I'm not giving the buns to a rescue because of it! :shock: :roll:...I can't believe some people do! :evil:)

Has anyone else randomly got this?
 
Yup me, my throat starts to itch horribly and my eyes water! Hubby joked about getting me a mask to wear!! :lol:

I do use a mask sometimes (one of those for builders) if I'm doing the nig clean out and there is hay dust everywhere - it really does help :D

Perhaps I should get one then, I kind of just grin and bear it! I usually throw away a proportion of my hay as it gets too dusty at the bottom no good for me and prob not good for Pip either!
 
Thing is, I don't notice any dust, which would suggest it's the hay itself, rather than the dust. :?

I don't really mind...but it's just been so spontaneous. :roll:

Same here - some of it gets so dusty that there's no way you'd want to put it in for the buns :?
 
I get this too hun :) Sometimes im fine, but most the time it feels like my throat is about to close. It lasts for about an hour after ive done the hay of a morning, then the same on an evening :)

xXx
 
I said this on another thread and I shall say again - see what we put ourselves through to feed our buns! :lol:
