Worst Places for Allergy Sufferers

Anyone who suffers from seasonal allergies already is aware that 2010 has been a pretty miserable year. The Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America has just come out with its list of Spring Allergy Capitals for 2010. The list ranks 100 communities across the country on the basis of pollen counts, the prevalence of allergy medication use and the ratio of Board-certified allergists per patient. The list shows this year has been especially miserable for those who live in the mid-South and the Midwest.

Knoxville, Tenn., tops the list followed by Louisville and Chattanooga. The rest of the top 10 cities include Dayton, Ohio; Charlotte, N.C.; Philadelphia; Greensboro, N.C.; Jackson, Miss.; St. Louis; and Wichita.

Find out where your community ranks.
