Pollen




When I returned to Atlanta airport from Orlando, I found my car covered with yellow powder. While driving back home, the air was hazy with pollen. The South is suffering from one of the worst allergy seasons in years.
People start showing allergic reactions when the pollen count is over 50 particles per cubic meter of air. A reading of 120 is considered extremely high. Last week, Atlanta's pollen count hit 5900!!

Greg and Sammy have been suffering from itchy and watery eyes, stuffed noses, swollen faces, and had trouble breathing. The spring weather is keeping them indoors.
