Re: allergy from Grevillea robusta

I have a very unpleasant, itchy rash over the entire front of my torso, I believe as a result of getting a lot of Grevillea robusta sawdust on me in the course of cutting a specimen down. The rash began to appear three days after my exposure. It started in the two spots where I had the most sawdust contact and, over the course of a week, it has spread to the rest of the front of my torso. The only physical symptom I have is the rash. Do you have any information on effective treatment or any other information about it? Thanks. John Martin
