Summer may be nearly here, but many people are going through the battlefield of spring allergies. Experts are now adding news that the allergy season may last two weeks longer, and for many people, the bothersome feeling just sticks around all year.
Did you ever visit a friend or a relative and feel like your allergies got better, or worse? Each city has its own level of allergy threats.
Below are the Top Ten "Worst" Cities for Allergies in the U.S., according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Pollen score, amount of allergy medications used, and the number of local allergy specialists factor into the list.
1. Louisville, Kentucky
2. Knoxville, Tennessee
3. Charlotte, North Carolina
4. Madison, Wisconsin
5. Wichita, Kansas
6. McAllen, Texas
7. Greensboro, North Carolina
8. Dayton, Ohio
9. Little Rock, Arkansas

Even though we're in Massachusetts, if you're suffering from watery eyes, sneezing, sniffling, coughing, and/or headaches, and your allergies are significantly impacting your life, you may want to consider an allergy specialist. They can diagnose you and potentially prescribe you a stronger medication, in which case you would want a strong health insurance policy to help lower the cost of the medication.
