Why do I always get itchy when I roll in the grass?

I can attest to the fact that I got itchy from rolling in the grass in a lawn that had no chemicals on it, in an era before lawn chemicals. There was another yard in another town, still before lawn chemicals, where I rolled around and didn’t get as itchy. Maybe it was the type of grass. Maybe it was the lack of things like chiggers or other little bugs that live in the grass. I don’t know. It’s just that the chemicals thing is not a requirement since I had experiences with itching when I know the chemicals weren’t a factor.

Sorry - I meant a natural chemical released by the bent or crushed grass. “Grass juice.” Grass cut by a lawnmower smells very sour, after all.
