Worst Cities For Spring Allergies 2022: Is Yours On The List?

seasonal allergies

If you’re one of the more than 50 million Americans living with seasonal allergies, there are at least 100 cities you should avoid this spring. Or at the very least, plan your allergy defense strategy accordingly if you need to visit for work or pleasure. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) has compiled and released its 2022 list of “the 100 most challenging places to live with allergies” during the spring and fall seasons.

To determine the nation’s “Allergy Capitals,” the AAFA measured and compared seasonal data that included:

  • Spring pollen scores
  • Fall pollen scores
  • Over-the-counter medicine use
  • Availability of board-certified allergists/immunologists

Each city was assigned a score out of a maximum of 100 points (Hint: Having a score close to 100 is NOT a good thing). Check out the list below of the top 10 worst cities for spring allergy sufferers. To view the full list of 100, click here.
