Did There is nothing worse than living in an area where you are practically doomed to suffer from allergies by simply walking out the door.  Coming from a Navy family, I have been all around the country, including one of the best areas for those who experience pollen allergies. Unfortunately, we settled in one of the worst and my allergy treatment regimen soon followed.

Fortunately, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America has compiled a list of cities known for high pollen counts as well as those cities that are considered low.  So if you suffer from seasonal allergies, consider moving to some of the better low pollen cities such as Fort Wayne IN, Boston MA, Detroit MI, Lansing MI, Seattle WA, Syracuse NY, Scranton PA, Toledo OH, Grand Rapids MI, Miami FL or Des Moines, IA.  But what are the worst top ten cities for seasonal allergies?  They are as follows:

  • 10. San Diego, CA
  • 9.  Little Rock, AK
  • 8. New Orleans, MS
  • 7. Birmingham, AL
  • 6. Knoxville, TN
  • 5. Jackson, MS
  • 4. Augusta, GA
  • 3. Johnson City, TN
  • 2. Greensboro, NC
  • 1. Lexington, KY
  • Results were based on pollen count, number of specialists per patient and number of patients being treated for allergies.
