HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You are having an allergic reaction to the contact with the grass.
Treatment would involve the use of oral anti histamines such as benadryl, claritine, allegra, zyrtec. These are all over the counter medications.
Benadryl may be the best option, the older antihistamines sometimes work faster. Should be taken as frequently as allowed by dosing for 24 to 48 hours at least.
If the anti histamines alone are not enough, you may need to steroids.
I hope this helps
