The end of allergy is upon us in Atlanta as pollen levels are dropping!
*insert wild hollering and cheering*
Which can only mean one of two things: you survived another year without sneezing your brains out (yay you!) or you didn't.
If you're like me, you were the latter and survived - until the end.
This weekend, and just this weekend alone, has wreaked enough havoc on me to the point where I'm ready to never see pollen again in life. Talkin about watery eyes, stuffed/runny nose and the most annoying tickle/sore throat. But if you're from where the players play, it's just something you have to deal with.
So to get you through this allergy laden, yet beautiful first week of May, I present to you a survival guide:
DO stock up on tissues.
These will become your best friend. By your side through thick and thin (literally).
DON'T go outside.
Ever.
Do I really need to explain this? Pollen = particles that attack the nose, throat and eyes. Just don't do it. Or do it and let me know how that goes.
DO take allergy meds.
aka lifesavers!
DON'T roll down your windows to "enjoy the breeze."
You will regret this decision. As you're soaking up the sun and smells of almost summer, your nose is soaking up the pollen, and a sneeze attack will come.
Driving and sneezing = dangerous.
DO appreciate the beauty of nature...
From the safety and comfort of the inside of your home.
DON'T rub your eyes.
You're just making the grainy granules become one with your eyeball.
Not fun.
Not cute.
DON'T look into the face of a pollen storm.
Wind + visible pollen particles = death by yellow wind.
So maybe these are from personal experience, maybe not... but you have been warned.
IF YOU CAN SEE THE POLLEN IN THE AIR, WHY ARE YOU OUTSIDE?!
Tell me, any of y'all have allergies? How have they affected your life this spring?
