Jersey Shore Allergy Sufferers

In the midst of all we are going through, you can add seasonal allergies to the mix at the Jersey Shore.

At a time when all of us are more aware of every single cough and sniffle than we ever have been, seasonal allergies are creeping their way into our everyday life here at the Jersey Shore.

The culprit today is tree pollen in our area, and The Weather Channel lists the tree pollen level as "high" for today. Grass and ragweed levels are categorized as "none" for our area today.
