Recently, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America ranked the top 100 cities in the United States that cause trouble for people who suffer from spring allergies.
Scores were based on the prevalence of certain types of pollen and molds, pharmacy data for prescription allergy medicines in the area and the number of board-certified allergy and immunology specialists per 10,000 estimated patients. Our own capital city of Raleigh ranked number 64 – not terrible, but not good either.
