Great article about the Asian Ladybug allergy. I am having a problem with them flocking to the windows, wanting to get out. If I’m nearby, I get all sorts of very nasty allergy symptoms. My hubby has to clean up the mess they leave behind, because that stuff really triggers symptoms. Stains everything, too.
