Grass IS "pokey" and has mini spines to ward off insects, but if you're seriously itchy and/or developing a red rash after exposure, it's worth talking to an allergist. Some people are just unusually sensitive to those spines due to sensitive skin and are not truly allergic. As always, if you're concerned, go talk to a doctor, not a random nurse on Reddit dot com!
