Spring in Greenville is gorgeous. 🌸
Magnolias, camellias, redbuds, tulips — everywhere you look, something is blooming.
While we’re admiring the flowers, tree pollen is quietly filling the air, which is one reason Greenville was recently ranked #10 in the country for seasonal allergies.
The flowers you see usually aren’t the biggest allergy triggers — their pollen is heavy and mostly carried by bees.
The pollen that causes most spring allergies is wind-carried, meaning it travels easily through the air and ends up everywhere.
If your allergies seem worse this time of year, you’re definitely not alone.
One simple tip that helps:
🚿 Shower or change clothes after spending time outside.
Pollen sticks to hair and clothing and can keep triggering symptoms even after you come indoors.
Spring in the Upstate is beautiful.
Your sinuses might disagree.
