Need help identifying a plant I have a big allergy to...

Evening all!

I'm sorry to bother you but can someone help me ID what this plant is? I was whizzed into hospital a couple of months back with an unknown allergy. Today I was out in the garden and brushed this plant and it all kicked off again - it would help if I could tell the medical peeps something more specific than "it's a pretty blue one, about a foot high that looks a bit like a Forget-me-Not."

A friend has said it could be from the Bugloss family. All I know is it spreads like wildfire and doesn't like me at all.

Any help would be gratefully received. Thank you.

Hi Bellis,

Thats evergreen alkanet, sorry to hear about the allergy, best steer away from comfrey too.

Thank you so much Ziggy - that's really helpful! Funnily enough as I was in the garden today I thought I should post an update on here after I introduced myself back at Easter. I've been working hard to rediscover the garden we inherited and have learned loads - mainly about how quickly any variety of bramble can grow!!

Will post a proper update and pics over the weekend - but thank you again for taking the time and trouble to help me. Next thing I need to do is Google Comfry so I know what else to watch out for! :D
