Title: Rochester is 14th worst city for allergies
Post by: Donna on 03-Oct-12, 08:54:41 AM
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation has released a list of the least allergy-friendly cities in the U.S. and upstate New York is at the top of the list.

Rochester is the 14th worst city for allergies. Buffalo is ranked 13th and Syracuse is 21st on the allergy list. The foundation says Rochester has above normal levels of pollen.

The good news is that Rochester earning an above average score for the number of allergy specialists per patients.

Number one on the list was Louisville, Kentucky.  (http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g251/AJohns10/Smileys/sneeze.gif)

The one thing that gives me pause in my escape plans...can't breathe in my #52 region now...

But how much worse could it be?

Yes, but we love it here anyway...taking our allergy shots, zyrtec, singulair, flonase...

I'm shocked that Austin TX isn't at the very top.
There's this SCOURGE called cedar fever.
I couldn't believe it.

Yup-spent some time in Austin. I don't have asthma unless I'm in Austin during cedar bloom.
