Sign up for our Atlanta Allergy Pollen Count email. March 2025 Atlanta Allergy & Asthma’s Pollen Counting Station is certified by the
National Allergy Bureau. This is the only pollen counting station in the
Atlanta area certified by the NAB. The daily pollen count represents
the number of pollen grains in a cubic meter of air over the previous
24-hours. Do you think you might be struggling with allergies? The first step in treating allergies is an accurate diagnosis. If you have
symptoms when you are outdoors, you might have a pollen allergy (allergic to
tree, grass and/or weed pollen), or airborne mold spores. If your symptoms
are worse when indoors, you might be allergic to dust mites, pet dander, or
cockroaches. Many people have both indoor and outdoor allergies. Your
allergists will take a thorough medical and symptom history, perform a
physical exam, and suggest appropriate testing. Identifying the cause of your symptoms through allergy testing allows your
allergist to effectively treat you. An
allergy skin test is
the gold standard for identifying allergic triggers. This simple in-office
procedure introduces a very small amount of a specific allergen or allergens
selected by the allergist based on your medical history (such as pollens,
dust mite, animal dander, mold, and/or foods). The allergen is introduced
through an indention or “prick” on the surface of the skin. Following the
skin prick test, some patients may also receive intradermal skin testing.
The results are available within minutes allowing your allergist to develop
a treatment plan during your visit. When indicated, our allergists may also
employ blood tests or oral challenges. Once the source of your symptoms have been accurately identified, the
specialists at Atlanta Allergy & Asthma will develop a customized
treatment plan which may include
environmental control
measures,
over-the-counter and prescription medications, or
allergy immunotherapy. Identifying and treating your allergies not only allows you to breathe
easier, it can also improve sleep quality, mitigate sinus issues, and reduce
asthma exacerbations. Taking control of your allergies can significantly
improve your quality of life! Stay up to date with daily pollen counts delivered to your inbox from Atlanta Allergy & Asthma. © 2014–2025 Atlanta
