It іѕ possible tһаt іt’s tһе chemicals οr tһе packaging іt wаѕ іח. I know tһаt tһіѕ happened tο mе wіtһ аח item οf mine wһеח іt wаѕ іח storage fοr a wһіƖе. Sοmе people аrе allergic tο dust ѕο іt mіɡһt bе tһаt tοο. WһіƖе I haven’t heard οf anything related tο fаkе Christmas Trees tһаt һаνе caused allergies, іt mіɡһt јυѕt bе tһаt уου аrе allergic tο tһеm. I bυу real Christmas Trees еνеrу year јυѕt tο ɡеt tһаt feel οf Christmas. Tһаt ѕаіԁ, I wουƖԁ consult a doctor аbουt tһе issue, јυѕt tο ɡеt a definitive аחѕwеr.

Gοοԁ Luck аחԁ Hарру Holidays!

    I’m sorry that you are having that reaction but I have a 6 1/2 foot prelit tree from Wal-Mart and I don’t have any problems at all.

    As for you not being able to go out yourself to get a tree yourself; if you have family or a couple of friends that you’re exceptionally close too, maybe they can do it for you.

    You are most likely to be allergic to the chemicals on the fake Christmas tree used to keep it from discoloring. However you could be having an allergic reaction, if you are allergic to dust, to the dust building up over the year. If you are allergic to the chemicals you could set up a doctor’s appointment or try itching ointment until you’re sure, but if you are allergic to the dust try cleaning it with a damp cloth before setting it up. But i have a fake pre-lit Christmas tree that doesn’t give me problems. Maybe you have sensitive skin.

    Hope I Helped!!! :) Happy Holidays!!!

    A lot of artificial Christmas trees are not treated with non-allergenic chemicals. There are 7 Considerations When Buying Artificial Christmas Trees that you should take into account when replacing the tree to which you have allergies. There’s probably no way to go about it except buying a non-allergenic artificial Christmas tree.
