Ugh... Leaving the house this morning I felt like I was breathing through a thick gauze pad until my Claritin kicked in. Even after that I felt pretty awful. I don't think it's meant to handle this level of pollen infestation, but it certainly helps. Something about 1,950 pollen particles in a cubic meter of air is incredibly sickening, both literally and figuratively. Maybe I should start wearing one of those medical/dust masks and draw scary faces on it like people did when SARS was on the loose.
