However last night I had a headache and my lungs hurt across my back when I breathed enough to keep me awake for most of the night. Could this mean that I could get a more severe reaction at some other point?

I was cutting some of the grass back off the sidewalk the other night, something I have done before with no problem. Like before, I wasn't wearing gloves or sleeves. My right arm and hand has gotten progressively more "burnt" feeling (like a really bad sunburn) but my left hand has not. (I was using my right arm to gather the grass & my left to hold it while cutting). The irritation has spread farther up my arm than what came into contact with the grass. I've tried Benadryl cream, aloe, neosporin, rubbing alcohol, anti-inflammatories & oral antihistamines but nothing has worked. It has been ongoing since Sunday morning (cut the grass back Saturday night) and getting worse. Any suggestions? What about skin allergies?
