My once-black car is now more of a yellow-green color, and here in Atlanta, friends who normally don't even have allergy problems are feeling the effect of thousands of pollen grains flying up their nostrils.

I wasn't surprised to see Atlanta at the top of The Weather Channel's Allergy Hot Spot List.

Last year, Atlanta had one of the worst allergy seasons on record, and this year is shaping up to be another nightmarish spring for seasonal allergy sufferers.
