If it's the pollen you're allergic to, I'd get rid of them, as they bloom for quite a long time.

If you don't get a professional to remove them, warn whoever does it to wear gloves and keep their skin covered, as every part of the plant, including the sap, is harmful.

Thank you.I am presuming it is them as my eyes have been streaming and itching for a week.We moved here to Spain in August and I did not have a problem then.

Sounds like hay fever to me think the plant irritates skin may be wrong.
