I don't know this from personal experience, but I sure wouldn't want to be
the guy who has to handle bulbs of Urginea maritima all day - at least not
without gloves and a face mask!

Dear All:

I am aware that when one handles bulbs of Hyacinthus, and when cutting
Narcissus flowers for market, one can get allergic reactions, swollen
fingers, and swellings around the nails. Has anyone had any other
allergic reactions from handling any other genera? Cheers, John E. Bryan
