RICHMOND, Va. â We are halfway through a nice, warm week in Central Virginia, and you may have noticed your allergies are already starting to act up.
In past years, Richmond has been called one of the worst allergy cities in America. We have a lot of beautiful trees in a city, but then we also get all the pollen from the Shenandoah Valley flyover, so we almost get a double dose of pollen that makes allergies especially bad, said Dr. Margaret Sigman at Advanced Allergy and Asthma.
