I have lived in Virginia since birth (a long time ago). I grew up in Hampton Roads where our porches and cars were yellow in the spring to the NRV where I started getting allergies, but nothing major.

This year, I cannot walk outside without my eyes starting to water. I take an OTC allergy med, but it's not touching whatever the hell is in the air. Anyone else experiencing worse than normal allergies rn?

I'm over on the Eastern Shore and I've been having a similar issue over the past few weeks. I can physically feel my eyes every moment of every day. I've always had allergies, but this is definitely a really bad year. I think the fact that we haven't seen any major storms since the trees bloomed has also been contributing to things being bad as well.
