Default I have plant 'reactions'...too.

mostly with foods and preparing them. Not ingesting them tho.
For me it's eggplants and cucumbers [both, I think are nightshades, but won't swear to it]....made my hands and skin feel 'funny' [for want of a better word] when peeling and prepping them.
This reaction is much worse now with my neuropathy and I've opted to wear exam gloves to keep the worst at bay. It helps a lot. But-I can't wear them for long for some reason...only about 30 mins or so. I just go with the flo.
As for your current reactions? Start really READING those labels! Lots of fine print, tho often you can 'web' up the product sites and get a readable version to see what all is in the stuffs.
Golly what you are experiencing doesn't sound much like FUN at all! I hope you get to solve the problem on your own. 's - j
