The Absolute Worst US Cities For Allergies And Why

Jackson, Mississippi

The sights may be beautiful, but this is one city all allergy sufferers will want to stay clear of, particularly if their allergies are quite severe. Jackson, Mississippi scored a perfect one hundred from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America for allergy sufferers. Its pollen levels are worse than average with three hundred grains of daily airborne pollen per cubic meter.

Those who live in the area and who have allergies almost certainly take medication, making Jackson worse than average on the number of patients using allergy medication. You’re also hard pressed to find an allergist as there is an average of 1.05 board-certified allergists for every ten thousand allergy sufferers.

It's time to fly up to the east coast for the next allergenic city.
