“The Pollening” Has Begun

Dr. Robert Cartwright | Columbus, GA | Now Georgia: “The Pollening Has Begun”

If your car, porch, or sidewalks are suddenly covered in yellow dust, you’re not imagining things – pollen season has arrived across the South. Often referred to jokingly as “The Pollening,” spring pollen can trigger sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion, and other common allergy symptoms.

A recent article from Now Georgia explains why pollen counts spike this time of year and what people can do to manage seasonal allergies.

In the article, Dr. Cartwright of AllerVie Health’s Allergy Center at Brookstone encourages people not to wait until symptoms become severe before seeking care. “Unfortunately, many people wait until their symptoms are bad before seeking help,” he explains. “I advise being proactive with medication or allergy shots.”

Taking a proactive approach—through allergy testing and treatments like immunotherapy—can help address the root cause of allergies rather than just masking symptoms, giving many patients the opportunity for long-term relief.
