This call is usually unnecessary unless the person is having a severe allergic reaction to the grass or is experiencing breathing difficulties . If the grass has recently been fertilized, sprayed with an insecticide or herbicide, or treated with a chemical in any way, contact Poison Control. They will instruct you if it is necessary to take the patient to the hospital. See Poison Control centers for telephone numbers and addresses. Bring a sample of the insecticide with you to the emergency room for identification.
Recovery usually occurs.
