OK everyone…STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE POLLEN. In order for us to have trees and flowers along with the birds, bees and butterflies…this huge floral orgy must take place every year. Mother Nature says: “Enjoy the beauty of Spring for without it, there will be no summer”

There’s so much pollen that I had to go to the tag office and re-register my car with the color description of “yellow”.

There’s so much pollen that the colors of the State and Country flags have both been changed to red, yellow, and blue.

Elton John and Bernie Taupin originally wrote the song as “goodbye yellow-dusted road.”

If this global warming trend keeps up, in two years the song will have to be changed to “I’m Sneezing At A Yellow Christmas”.

There’s so much pollen that when I open up my box of Lucky Charms, all the marshmallows are yellow, not just the star-shaped ones.

We go through this every year in Georgia. It really is no big suprise. It’s just like every winter when it gets cold or we have a little ice or snow. People act like it is the first time its ever happened. It will soon pass just like everything else. Please get over it. Or at least have fun with it. Maybe go outside and make a pollen angel in the parking lot?

We DO NOT go through this every year. The pollen count yesterday was the 2nd highest ever recorded here in Atlanta. I don’t believe that we have had so many consecutive days where the pollen count was over 5000. The lack of rain is making conditions worse. That’s why this year is noteworthy. People who don’t suffer from allergies don’t get it as well as those of us who do. But alas, complaining won’t make it any better. So anyone care to share any success tips on how they are tollerating this season? Personally, since my allergy medicine is not working well enough against my symptoms, I’m wearing a mask every time I go outside. I look silly but at least I feel better.

I have been “cured” of seasonal allerges and other allergies at well. The solution: Cut out all dairy products from my diet. Casein, a milk protein, is said to irritate the immune system in some, causing allergies to pollen, pets, etc. I would need weekly shots just to get through this time. Since ridding my diet of dairy, I haven’t needed any medication—prescription or over-the-counter. It’s the closest I’ve come to a cure.

There’s so much pollen that the makers of Zyrtec were able to retire yesterday.

Conspiracy theory: the pharmaceutical companies are responsible for the massive pollen count in March so that we all will buy their products.

Here is a trick I learned from a physician’s assistant for those who suffer from the itchy thing in the back of your throat during pollen season. Take a 1/2 tsp of liquid Benadryl(available over the counter) in your mouth…Don’t swallow, gargle with it. It bubbles so be careful, do it for as long as you can…then spit it out…it acts locally and relieves the itchy throat thing! AND it doesn’t make you have the sleepy affect that comes with taking the antihistamine.

My one dose per day of Zyrtec and Astilyn nose spray cannot ward off this much pollen. Pharmacist recommended Opcon-A eyedrops for my itchy, watery and about to swell shut eyes…just picked up a bottle, it better work so I can wear contacts again.

Man, this pollen is so bad it makes me want to move back to TEXAS! I’ve only been living here for about 5 years now. I’ve got allergies so bad that I caught a sinus cold, a sore throat that was worsened by 2(yes TWO) inner ear infections that caused my throat to swell nearly shut(I must say it was good for my diet though).

I was born in the City of Atlanta and have lived in Metro ATL all of my 38 years. years ago, pollen never bothered me. I noticed when I hit 30, I started having trouble, allergy, seasonal asthma. But I can say this year has been the worst….. I think all the pollen, coupled with ATL bad ozone is the main problem. Help, we need h2o and clean air
