I had allergy testing done and where they do the little scrapes on your back of all the various allergens, they also do one that’s pure histamine as a control. You can kinda feel each area based on the reaction, some are a little itchy, but the grass area felt like a heat gun on my skin. It was insanely itchy and painful and explained why my face almost swelled shut when I rolled down a hill as a kid. It’s very not fun, especially if you have to be out and about during the summer months with people mowing. Fortunately, I got a treatment of allergy shots and it helped immensely.
A friend of mine has that as well, and I didn’t even know it was possible. I also wasn’t aware that some people are extremely allergic to mosquito bites, so while I get like a little itchy pinhead welt, I’ve seen people who get ones the size of a quarter. The grass allergy friend has it so bad that if the bite is on a wrist it’s becomes hard to bend it from the swelling.
My wife and son get extreme reactions to mosquito bites sometimes, perhaps it depends on the mosquito type or something like that because it’s.not every bite. It swells up, goes red and hard. A few days later turns into a blister (biggest ones I’ve ever seen) full of clear fluid. Only does that on arms, legs and feet. On the face it does the same but without the blistering.
I’m allergic to the most common strains of grass. The idea of relaxing in grass is horrid.
Your rash is grass
The grass itself, not pollen? Do you know what in the grass causes it?

Maybe it’s the pollen in the grass
