Spring in Atlanta brings warmer days, blooming trees and a blanket of yellow pollen coating everything in sight.
To survive the season, start by tracking daily pollen counts and limiting outdoor time on high-count days. Keep windows closed, change air filters regularly and shower after being outside to remove allergens. Over-the-counter antihistamines and nasal sprays can help manage symptoms, while local honey is a popular natural remedy. Don’t forget to wipe down pets after walks, too.
With a few proactive habits, you can still enjoy patio season, festivals and the beauty spring offers – without the constant sneezing and itchy eyes.
