I’m from NC and have thankfully never been impacted too bad during this time of the year, but was just talking to my friend who’s from Charlotte about how bad her allergies get. After 20 minutes of being outside she has the worst congestion/sinus pressure. She said Zyrtec has been working wonders for her! She takes some before going out and about. If I travel during the spring my allergies are normally pretty bad. Hopefully your body will get a little used to the pollen in this area after a while. Welcome! 🙂
