The Worst Allergy Season on Record
Update: See the 2007 report
Today the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that this spring may be the worst on record for allergy sufferers. The Atlanta Allergy & Asthma Clinic recorded the second-highest pollen count since it began measuring the irritants in 1995--and several grasses have not even started producing pollen yet.
The pollen allergy season is hitting hard and early this year because of the unusually warm winter. Dr. Lisa Kobrynski, a pediatric allergist at Emory University, said pollen counts in Atlanta and South Georgia are "highest of any area in the United States."
