What Causes Terrible Allergies in Some American Cities?
Can’t stop sneezing when you cross the Mason-Dixon Line, into the South?
The Southern United States contain 17 of the worst 20 American cities – for allergies – with Florida home to seven of them.
Why are pollen scores higher in cities like Wichita, Kansas, and Dallas, Texas? Longer, warmer summers, and mild winters, contribute to the problem. That’s according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. But it could get worse.
“If we don’t take immediate action on the climate crisis, pollen production will only intensify,” Kenneth Mendez of the AAFA said. “This means more allergy and asthma attacks and additional strain on our health systems.”
Florida cities which made the Bottom 20 are: Sarasota, Cape Coral, Orlando, Miami, Lakeland, Palm Bay, and Tampa.
The rankings took into account pollen levels, allergy medication usage, and the number of allergy specialists in the area.
