Spring Allergies

 

Spring allergies are the worst thing I have ever experienced. Now this may be an exaggeration but the way I see it, the months of April and May are awful. The weather gets warmer making me want to go outside more often to enjoy it. Only to my surprise that I have to continuously blow my nose and want to itch my eyes out. The worst part is, I always forget about how bad they are until they appear.

    Starting off, it's partially my fault. I have a tendency to be in the worst places for someone with allergies, outside. Previous years in the spring I have spent them on dirt baseball fields. Dirt, grass and being outside always made my eyes want to pop out of my head. This year I thought it would be different being on a golf course, sadly I was mistaken. My allergies feel like they are even worse this year. My nose has never acted this bad before with constant congestion, along with sneezing. It makes it hard for me in morning classes because I don't want to have to continuously excuse myself from the room, but at the same time the mornings are always the worst and I sometimes have to. Moving onto eyes, this is the worst part of allergies in my opinion. The constant feeling of something being in there even if there is nothing, is unbearable. I know itching makes it worse so the urge to itch only increases because of this. Countless eye drops used to still feel like your eyes are dying. 

  

     Fortunately, it's not just me going through this. After asking countless peers and friends they all experience symptoms similar to mine. Along with this the pollen count is up as well. According to the National Weather service the pollen count is up over moderate right not and its projected to stay on the same path. This is not amazing news for me but hopefully the pollen count will reduce sooner than later and everything will go back to normal.
