Pine trees contain some of the most common allergens to man. Ever noticed the "green" coating on everything in the spring-time? It just makes a mess of me. I'm not allergic to the dust of cut wood though, but that doesn't mean you aren't.
Wear a simple 25 cent dust mask (available anywhere almost) and latex gloves. If it still bothers you wear long sleeved shirts, wrap a scarf around your neck (make sure it's tucked in while working with power tools) and so on. Protect yourself.
Allergies are nothing to sneeze at (pun intended). Being an EMT I've been on many calls where we were scared we were going to lose a patient over a simple allergy...be it pollen, shellfish, whatever. Throats close up, sinuses swell (blocking off breathing). We've had to intubate (stick a tube into their lungs) several times, just to keep them breathing. It's not anything to take lightly.
Let us know how it goes? Good Luck!
