Spring showed up like it owns the place and so did the pollen.

If your car is now yellow and your sinuses are fighting for their life, you’re not alone. Quick reminder: allergy meds help, but more is not better. Stick to the recommended dosage because “I’ll just take a few extra” is how you end up calling us instead of enjoying the weather.

Stay ahead of it, stay hydrated, and maybe don’t trust that “just one more” pill logic.

•Difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe wheezing should not be ignored.
