I get deathly sick, can't breathe, throat & eyes swell, hospital er visit sick. I was near de a th sick every Christmas until I was around 10 years old. My family will never forget the evening that we were all quietly enjoying our tree & we thought that my Dad had lost his mind. He jumped up, flung open the front door, unplugged the tree & threw the completely decorated tree out the door in the midst of a lot of crying & screaming. He cleaned the entire house, opened the windows to let the fresh freezing air inside & I started improving immediately. Nobody in my family has ever had a live tree since & I have never been sick like that again for Christmas. I've had tons of people think that I was stretching the truth over the last 50 years & this is the 1st time that I've ever heard of another person with evergreen allergies. Thank you for sharing this!

As in "one grown in the ground." <br /><br />You are the first person besides Patsy (that's my sister-in-law's mother-in-law's name!) I've heard of who suffered like this. It may be a compromise for the non-allergic family members, but wow does it make a difference.<br /><br />Enjoy an itch-free, beautiful holiday with your beautiful family and your beautiful tree. <br /><br />It's as real as the love that assembles it.julie gardnerhttp://juliecgardner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-17040334154971207472014-12-15T20:09:10.327-06:002014-12-15T20:09:10.327-06:00It's truly gorgeous, "fake" or not. ...It's truly gorgeous, "fake" or not. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044279582701415786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-34584911277249007342014-12-15T14:19:09.182-06:002014-12-15T14:19:09.182-06:00Your Christmas tree is beautiful-- so tall and reg...Your Christmas tree is beautiful-- so tall and regal looking.<br />Glad you found an allergy solution that looks so great.<br />Merry Christmas, jjJoanna Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836376588710862173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-47254560896701554652014-12-15T09:09:26.656-06:002014-12-15T09:09:26.656-06:00Your tree is full of heart and love...and that'...Your tree is full of heart and love...and that's the "real" Christmas spirit!RockTheWrinkle.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687875553558440218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-85042111404263132922014-12-14T17:24:35.833-06:002014-12-14T17:24:35.833-06:00Pretty tree.
