Son has just cut lelandi and has had an allergic reaction on his arms. Is this normal

Yes , the bark and the sap can both produce an allergic dermatitis type of reaction in some people.

Yup perfectly normal - I wear a long sleeved top and gardening gloves before trimming the hedge or pruning any conifer - if I don't red itchy rash... it will go quite quickly.

bless him,hope he will be ok.can he use something like savalon or germaline?

Calomine lotion, if it still exists, would probably help more. Or something with lavender in it possibly.

ooh yes thats still going strong... well it is down here, we have some

hope hes better soon

also take periton/ becinase or anti-histamine tablets as this will work inside out so to speak.
