Upstate plagued by Pollen

Many Upstate residents are thankful to see rain today after pollen has blanketed the area over the last few weeks. Allergists believe this season will be shorter than previous years; however, the pollen count will likely be much higher in that shorter period. The spring allergy season runs February to June.  Due to the snow and longer than usual winter, pollen season started later this year in the Upstate, according to experts.
