Springfield Has 2nd Highest Pollen Count In The U.S.
Don't forget to grab the nasal spray, eye drops, allergy pills and tissues before heading out the door to enjoy the "lovely" weather.
SPRINGFIELD, NJ — Spring is here and while many may be rejoicing at the arrival there are many, such as myself, that are suffering from allergies. Specifically, in Union County where pollen counts are among the highest in the country.
Springfield Township in Union County currently has the second highest pollen count in the U.S. followed by the highest in Kansas City, Kansas, according to The Weather Channel.
But you don't need the weather channel to tell you that. Just looking at your yellow-dusted car in the driveway will indicate the high levels of tree pollen.
