Allergy season is upon us. What’s up and what to do.
Feel like you can’t breathe? Do you have the uncontrollable urge to rub your eyes every 10 seconds? The trees are blossoming and shedding pollen early this year, and that’s bad news for millions of Americans who are suffering from allergies. You probably think your area has it the worst, but the true champion of allergies in America is Knoxville, Tennessee, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. The nonprofit organization, which is releasing its list of 100 allergy capitals next week at allergycapitals.com, bases its rankings on pollen score, how much allergy medicine is used per patient, and the number of board-certified allergists per patient — in other words, how difficult it would be to get an appointment. – From CNN
