Grass allergy: People should have itching from contact with grass until they are allergic to it. I would also expect that this person would experience nasal and/or eye symptoms as well.

Possible answer: Grass allergy can cause itch. However, irritation of the skin can also cause itch. Given that the immune system has memory in the setting of allergy, grass allergy can also be accompanied by other allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itchy nose, nasal mucus production. Consider seeing an allergist for allergy evaluation, testing and discussion of treatment options.
