Spring came early to Nelson County, Virginia this year. Even the trees on the higher elevation have their leaves now. It sure is pretty but with the new leaves comes the pollen.
Everything outside is coated with a light green layer of the stuff. And, my allergies are killing me. Claritin isn't doing much good. In Florida we have palm trees and live oaks. There will be times when I might sneeze a couple of times and my eyes will itch. This Virginia stuff is a completely different animal. Can't keep enough kleenex in stock!
We're through the worst of it here in Georgia but everything is still yellow. Fortunately, it doesn't bother me.
I'm coughing up about a pound of tree pollen loogies every morning.

The schit is killing me now, every year when the trees start getting their leaves I am miserable for around a week. After the first wave i am usually fine the rest of the year. No other pollen bothers me except tree pollen.
It doesn't bother me at all. I just wish it would end as I am tired of cleaning the mess--
eat LOCAL bee/honey.....they gather the pollen ....make honey wit it ...and u get all the benneys..... bye bye pollen sniff'ills
Ours is pretty well gone here but it was so bad that sometimes if there was a light breeze, it looked like yellow smoke when you looked down the street.
At the rate spring is progressing here, it will be another 6 weeks.
what spring???? 18 this morin ....hard-n-hard water in the tanana.
25* here in the bananer belt.
It drove me crazy when I lived around Augusta, Ga...pine tree pollen..worst I've ever seen around there. Terrible on black auto's also. Never had a problem with pollen anywhere else.
