Yers if I was not allergic to them) Many years ago, I was in a friend's
house and she had some in a vase on her table. I touched them, saying how
lovely whey were.

I was rushed down the the docs ... I think I will leave them there and
be careful not to touch them. What do you think?

For sure, though I think I would get rid of them if I was you. No point in
taking the chance. Have D take them out.

The birds and squirrels will probably eat them this fall. If you do have
someone take them away, there could still be allergens on his hands and
clothes, thus contaminating your place.

If I had to be taken to a doctor the first time, I'll be damned if I
would go anywhere near them

Don't take any chances if you have a serious allergy!

nowhere did i say they would grow all their vegetables.
there are a lot of factors involved in how much you can
grow.

if it gets them out of the house and moving and doing
something useful i'd consider that a positive thing in
and of itself.

I have allergies to a few things and I do have the meds if needed. There
are only 3 so I doubt it would be too hard just to cut them down and stick
the heads in a large plastic bag. I will certainly bear that in mind if he
does have to and pass on your advice, so thank you.

I will give them a wide berth but at least I will be able to see them. If I
even get a hint of reaction, out they will have to go.

Strange looking beans eh lol
