My aunt developed an allergy to tomato plants years ago. It took months to figure it out, and by then she was almost hospitalized.

I've gotten a rash twice now from trimming the vegetation around my house. The rash came in the exact same place on my arm. Both times I was wearing garden gloves as well as long sleeves.
I immediately put cortisone cream on it, which helped both times. I don't know why that rash is appearing exactly in the same place! Weird! I"ve never had it before.

Another thing to try is some benedryl - I think it's an allergic reaction on the skin to something! I didn't take that for my rash but have for rashes in the past, as well as insect bites. Regardint insect bites, it's always helped to not make it any worse and it takes down any swelling.

I've been looking for long garden gloves.
The pampas (sp?) grass (tall feathery plumes) have sharp leaves that 'attach' to the skin and make a red mark.
I'm always trimming the long leaves and end up with a few long red marks along my forearm.

Don't take this as gospel, but I believe that tomatoes are from the sumac family as are poison oak and ivy.

I get the same thing. Not from tomato plants, just the zucchini. What I do is, as soon as I bring them up to the house I wash the inside of my arms with soap and water and pat them dry with a paper towel. 99% of the time that's all it takes. If my arms are still itchy, I'll put a little hydrocortisone cream on them. Hope this helps.
