Allergy Capitals

Tuesday May 5, 2009
With the allergy season getting into full gear you may wonder if everyone else in the U.S. is suffering as you are? The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America has released its 100 most challenging cities to live with asthma. Leading the list are:
  • Louisville, KY
  • Knoxville, TN
  • Charlotte, NC
  • Madison, WI
  • Wichita, KS
Interestingly, with the exception of Witchita which was 6th on last years list, all were outside of the top 20 last year.

Scores are based on the follwing factors:
  • Pollen scores (airborne grass/tree/weed pollen and mold spores)
  • Number of allergy medications used per patient
  • Number of allergy specialists per patient
You can see the full report at the AAFA website.
