In Atlanta, grass season is from April to June. In tree season, although oak is the main culprit, pine gets the attention. Pine pollen causes our city to be blanketed with a veil of yellow. Pine pollen is an irritant rather than an allergen. Twenty percent of the population has allergies.
Allergies run in families.
Most people will develop allergies by age twenty. Many, especially in our mobile society, will develop allergies later as they move to a new location. Most senior citizens will not develop new symptoms of allergies in their golden years. When someone moves from a colder climate where more of the year has cold temperature, and now, people are not bothereed as long. It does, however, cause a significant irritant reaction as anyone in Atlanta can attest to.
