COLUMBIA, S.C. - A yellow haze of pollen descended on the Southeast in the past week, coating cars and porch furniture and making people miserable in one of the worst allergy seasons in years. Doctors are telling people with stuffed-up noses and itchy, watery eyes to spend more time indoors if they can. "Everybody who walks through the door, you can see it in their faces," said Atlanta pharmacy owner Ira Katz, who is running low on medication to treat what he said is the worst allergy season of his 26 years in the business. Atlanta's pollen count hit 5,499 particles per cubic meter of air Monday, the highest so far this season and the fourth highest in the 12 years that the Atlanta Allergy and Asthma Clinic has been keeping records. In South Carolina, the pollen count hit 4,862, according to the Allergic Disease and Asthma Center in Greenville. complete story

My green car already turned yellow, my porch is yellow, anything I touch makes me yellow... All so those plants can get it on. Pollen everywhere - why that is virtually pornographic! Where is the outrage when you need it?

Yeah, I was basically surrounded by tree as I was trimming it last night. Sinus misery.

I noticed this morning that my outside cats are yellow. One's legs are especially yellow.

You know it's bad when parking lots are turning yellow. I saw someone out sweeping their lot with a broom yesterday morning.

Thanks for that visual Worm... My poor Xterra is a disgusting color. And everyone at my house has the sniffles. Stupid pollen.

Maybe they just wanted a yellow broom...
You would think that in the Bible Belt that something could be done about all that fornicating foliage...
