Allergy Sufferers, Welcome to the Thunderdome

Things are about to get rough for you if your kryptonite is pollen.

Prepare yourselves, ye of the afflicted sinuses. 

Spring means many things to allergy sufferers: itchy eyes, runny noses, the occasional headache, popping Zyrtec like they're Tic-Tacs. 

And the next few days are about to be a carnival of horrors for these poor souls. 

According to Weather.com's "PollenCast" things are going to go from bad to worse Wednesday through Saturday, with "high" and "very high" tree pollen counts exploding all over Brooklyn. 

The most active trees during this period will reportedly be mulberry and oak, so when you're shaking your fist and cursing, be sure that those are the names on your lips.
