Hi, Here in Jawja (as Doug sez) Pine is a major culprit. After seeing a microphotograph of various pollens I can understand the irritation. Pigs eating black-eyed peas is a testament to their intelligence. Excepting soy beans, I've never met a pea or bean I wouldn't eat. And as Granny used to say: Pa grows the beans, I cooks the beans, and we are all just human beans. O.K., O.K., lets throw some pollen dusted chiles into that pot of beans to make this somewhat on topic. And the main rule: Always drink the pot liquor! rr --- Dave Drum <xrated@cityscape.net> wrote: > "lovely yellow dusting".
