RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — It's that time of the year again: Allergy season.
"It's going to hit with a vengeance," said Richmond Allergy and Asthma specialist Dr. William Hark. "I think it's going to be one of the worst allergy seasons we've seen in many years."
Hark says his office in Richmond has been seeing patients non-stop as spring allergies have hit the Richmond area extremely hard so far this year. Hark says a long cold winter kept plants from pollinating which is now causing an explosion across the region. He says they're also seeing many first time patients, some who did not realize they were experiencing allergies.
