I'm finding running a bit miserable this summer... Every time grass touches my legs (which is most of the time on most of my runs) my legs (and any exposed part of me that happens to touch any foliage) come out in furiously itchy red welts as if I'd been running through a nettle patch. Sure I may run across the odd nettle but those usually sting instantly and then fade, whereas the itchy-ness I'm experiencing doesn't really kick in until I stop running but takes a couple of hours to fade.
I'm wondering if it's related to hay fever, but I only get that very mildly with some slight sniffles.
Anyone else get anything similar? Bit frustrating!!
