The past few days here in the Atlanta area, the pollen count has been setting startingly high records. Here's an excerpt from an AJC article: "Atlanta's count early Monday of 8,164 particles of pollen per cubic meter of air was more than a third higher than the previous record of 6,013, set on April 12, 1999, according to the Atlanta Allergy and Asthma Clinic, which tracks the misery level of the city's allergy sufferers. The major pollens present Monday were oak, pine, mulberry, sycamore, sweet gum and birch." Over the past few days I have been outside doing yardwork for an hour or two each day. -- Last year I would have been taking allegra, and being outside that long this time of year would have been an awful thing, with hours needed to get over the allergic reactions. It was bad even with allegra, but if I forgot to take it before I went out, mama mia!!,.. I would have literally been sick. -- This year, no allegra, record high pollen, and yet,.... no allergies. Not a sniffle. No rash. No headache. No raspy eyes.
Maybe it's just coincidence.
