I have gotten weird rashes on my hands after working in the garden, so maybe it's not all good all the time.

My partner is an estate gardener; early on in our relationship she came home with a green thumb. Apparently, the adage is about getting fungus under your nail beds and not keeping plants alive

Yeah, as someone who fairly recently discovered that the reason I always feel so uncomfortable out in nature is because I am severely allergic to almost all grasses and most trees, I think we need to put some caveats on these statements.

I grew up playing outside in the dirt a lot, but as I got older I liked it less and less because I always felt so itchy when i would go outside, and my nose would get stuffy and my eyes would water.

I am doing weekly shots trying to make it better, but I always get frustrated whenever everyone acts like I should just go out and 'touch grass'
