What happened to me today? I went to Home Depot to pick up grass seed.

[Paper Roses]

Went to the section w/seed and fertilizer. I asked a nice man (customer) to suggest what I need because I don't know one seed from another.

After talking about 2 minutes, I started to cough so badly that I could not even catch my breath. It was a severe reaction to something. I don't usually cough, I had no reason to even think this would happen. What is in that area that would cause such a severe reaction. After embarrassing myself for about 3 minutes, I hightailed it back into the store and out the door. I left the seed. After calming down, I went to our local Wally-Mart and bought same the seed. As an aside, same brand, $3.00 cheaper at Walmart..

Price is not my point however, I feared I would end up in the hospital, I was gasping so badly. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. I was fine until I walked into the garden area.

1. I sure don't know; glad you're ok.

Allergens all over the place!

Interesting price differential. Will inform my shopping friends.

2. I wonder if they might have recently applied insecticide or rodenticide.

That is something that could have caused a reaction. :shrug:

3. Molds in mulch?

That always gets me wheezing.

4. Guessing dust and/or poop

The world has all kinds of sniffy stuff ;)

Glad it passed
