Playing a sport that, for the most part, takes place on grass while being allergic to the green stuff must be rough.Just ask Jacksonville Jaguars wideout Allen Hurns, who told ESPN his grass allergy "has its moments":
Hurns said he doesn't experience breathing problems. His nose doesn't get stuffy or runny either. He has skin breakouts that vary in degrees. Some days they're barely there. Other days he said he has to take a Benadryl after practice or games if it's a particularly severe breakout. Hurns said it's more of a nuisance than a problem, and it obviously hasn't affected him on the field.
There's nothing Hurns can do to stop the breakouts from happening other than wearing the long sleeves and tights - or giving up the sport altogether. The only other thing he does is drink a lot of water because he said staying hydrated helps.
If Hurns says it's not a big deal, then it's nothing to worry about. That's great news for the Jaguars, who just signed the breakout receiver to a four-year, $40 million extension last week.
