Sky-High Pollen Count in Atlanta

The pollen count in Atlanta was 1705 today. It was over 1000 last Thursday as well... and anything over 120 is considered extremely high.

Yessir, this is allergy season.

I went to visit an old friend last Thursday night, and because the pollen count was so high, his roommate was wearing a mask - indoors! So of course I gave him a copy of The Allergy Sufferer's Survival Guide. He told me that he already uses several products from achoo! ALLERGY, as he has tested positive for nearly every allergen. He also gets weekly allergy shots, even though he believes that the shots give him panic attacks (soon after he receives the shot). Hearing about his situation made me really appreciate the fact that my allergies are under control for the most part.

On a realted note, last week I woke up really early one morning to visit the National Allergy Bureau pollen count center here in Atlanta. It was very interesting to see how the technicians collect and count the pollen. Don't worry; I took plenty of photos. Look for the article in our next newsletter!

Until then, learn more at Understanding the Pollen Count.
