Do this simple test which may tell you if you are allergic to dandelions: rub a dandelion flower on a small area on the inside of your wrist. The sensitive skin should start itching and /or become red if you are allergic. Even if this test doesn't show any allergy but the skin between your fingers starts itching while picking the flowers or later while handling them for your dish, it's still a sign of an allergy.

@GARDENING_foraging

Жыл бұрын

@@my_flippin_journey most likely yes, as most plants cause allergies with pollen or the tiny hairs on the leaves/stems. If an allergy is caused by some plant chemical, rubbing the leaves on the skin should cause the reaction. The skin between fingers is quite thin and sensitive so it'll react to smaller amounts of allergens.

People have been led to believe that a lawn without dandelions is the most desirable thing for a house owner, so they can sell tons of poison. and then sell tons of drugs for the health problems ppl will have from all the poison. Oh, and there's the no-more herbs and edible plants aspect to it too...

Older generations knew what's good for them!

I moved to the countryside about five or six years ago, and started going on walks a lot once we got settled in. One day I was walking and didn’t have a cigarette, so I carelessly grabbed a weed from the side of the railroad tracks and began chewing it. Turns out it was poison hemlock. It messed my kidneys up pretty badly which was very painful.. probably almost killed me. Hopefully someone can learn from my mistake! Cheers everyone! 😁

The hardest part is not picking from places that have been treated w pesticides. How would we know?

@GARDENING_foraging

2 ай бұрын

Depends where you live. In the US most public places, like parks, around playgrounds, etc are treated with pesticides. But, if there are lots of different weeds, then there's a high chance that this place is not sprayed. Some herbicides stay in the soil for months, so if an area was sprayed even the year before there will only be occasional weeds.

Not bad in salads before they blossom.
