This season in the Lowcountry is one of the worst pollen seasons I've seen. Oddly, though, my allergies haven't kicked in yet.
If all else fails, the local honey suggestion is actually not a bad idea. Everyone I know who does that swears it works.
Good luck.

Not a single medicine would cure my allergies. OTC, prescription...nothing. Last year, about a month BEFORE pollen (this is key), I tried the honey thing. It HAS to be local honey, and its very important you get it in your system before the pollen starts. It is by far the best medicine for allergies associated with pollen, and it's all I will ever do now. Also, much cheaper I think. Just a spoonfull every morning is what I do.

I agree with BlkVlvtRydr,
The honey route always works for me. I put it in my morning coffee and I'm good to go. If you can get some honey butter from the local area its even better. The stuff is great on English muffins or toast. Ask a local bee keeper about the honey butter.

Its the yellowish/green pine pollen you are seeing now. A large, heavy pollen. It bothers you now because there is so damn much of it in the air, but that will be over in a couple more weeks. Then you have all of the hardwood and other woody and non-woody plants to deal with. At least that kind of pollen wont pile up on vehicles and our bikes.

When I move to a new location I usually try to find someone selling locally produced honey. Eating the honey builds up your allergy immunity. After a jar of honey, eaten raw or put in hot beverage, I don't have any allergy issues. Or you can go buy allergy meds from your local pharmacy.
