I feel so sorry for the poor old OSR plant. Forever scorned as the source of intense hay fever. It just so happens it tends to grow near fields full of.... Grass.
I have no simpathy for it whatsoever, nor for the farmers who are sowing more and more of the stuff each year in order to get more and more subsidies, regardless of the effects it causes..

Just wondering if the op, Rainmaker has got the answer he was looking for
Well it has shown that I'm not the only one suffering the effects of OSR, but it appears I'm the only one' so far, who suffers hives (lots of small very itchy spots, mainly on exposed arms in my case). My problems started in the early nineties when this crop was becoming more widespread, each year I dose myself with a daily Piriton tablet for about three months, mind you it does have a beneficial side effect in that I don't suffer from midge, mosquitoe bites!
