How can someone be allergic to grass?

My whole life I’ve been allergic to grass. Not just pollen but if my skin comes into contact with grass I break out into hives. What is the science behind this? Why does it not happen with other types of plants?

Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, Poison sumac, ragweed etc. All plants to which most humans will have an allergic reaction. Some people are just unlucky and are allergic to plants like grass.
