i can varify I am allergic to the nene cultivar. It's been over three weeks since I have tried it and my allergy symptoms were no worse than usual. Because of this I tried nene again last night and BAM, I have copious amount of snot, a kava caugh, itchy runny eyes, etc. It amazes me how the other cultivars will take over a weeks daily use to do this to me and then only mildly. Pick up nene and on the next day it's like I was huffing ragweed.
So the moral of the story? Don't give up on kava too soon try another cultivar. It seems that the centuries of propagation changed this plant in more ways than we can know at this time. I almost gave up on kava because of my allergy to nene, but the moi and mahakea showed me the way! I am sure there will be others ones that effect me in similar ways, but I know where I can come home too.
