Louisville, KY again ranks #1 for worst Spring allergies

As reported by CNN.com, Louisville, KY was ranked the #1 worst city for Spring allergies. See the link here. Louisville returns to the top position after sliding to #5 last year. The article reports that the ranking comes from higher-than-average pollen counts, high use of allergy medications, and too fee allergy specialists. I understand the first two, but I would have to disagree with "too few allergy specialists" being in the area. Nonetheless, here is the ranking for the cities with the worst Spring allergies:

1. Louisville, Kentucky

2. Memphis, Tennessee

3. Baton Rouge, Louisiana

4. Oklahoma City

5. Jackson, Mississippi

6. Chattanooga, Tennessee

7. Dallas

8. Richmond, Virginia

9. Birmingham, Alabama

10. McAllen, Texas
