Worst Places to Live with Fall Allergies
For allergy sufferers, McAllen, Texas, is probably not the place to be in fall. The town topped the Asthma and Allergy Foundation’s 2009 list of the most challenging places to live with fall allergies.
Wichita, Kansas, and Louisville, Kentucky, took second and third, respectively. The rankings are based on the prevalence of allergy sufferers, seasonal pollen counts, allergy medicine use and the number of board certified allergists per patient.
