  Mi sister send me this info a whiule back. I had saved it. Hope it helps a bit. (Achoo)lol!! I've had allergies before. Not as bad now.

  Each year, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) conducts Allergy Capitals, a research project to determine the 100 most challenging places to live in for those who have allergies in the spring and fall season. The results are based on 3 factors for 100 cities: (1) pollen scores of airborne grass, tree, and weed pollen, as well as mold spores; (2) number of allergy medications used per patient; and (3) number of allergy specialists per patient. The data is recorded, measured, and compared versus the results from the previous year, and the cities are ranked accordingly.

  In AAFA’s 2006 Fall Allergy Capitals, there are around 17 cities that scored better than average, or in other words, these cities have the lowest pollen counts, patient allergy medications, and average allergy specialists per patient. These 17 cities can be called the best places to live in for allergy sufferers in the current year’s fall season. Canton, Ohio tops the list followed by Spokane, WA, Portland, OR, Springfield, MO, Scranton, PA, Modesto, CA, Seattle, WA, Pensacola, FL, Colorado Springs, CO, Fresno, CA, Daytona Beach, FL, South Bend, IN, Melbourne, FL, Fort Myers, FL, Des Moines, IA, Youngstown, OH, and Toledo, OH.

  However, this does not mean that these 17 cities will remain to be allergy free, because the results might be different in the Allergy Capitals study in the following year. For one, Daytona Beach, Florida, which is now among the top best cities, was ranked as the 4th most challenging place to live in the 2005 Allergy Capitals study. South Bend, Indiana was ranked as the 5th worst place to live in, as well as Melbourne, Florida, which used to be ranked as the 10th worst place, also in 2005.

  The bay area has one of the least seasonal changes but I think desert towns like Phoenix have the least seasonal pollen count.

  Hi thanks for stopping by and art is in the eye of the beholder,it's how it makes you feel.lol Anyway don't live in Mo.it is horrible here.The humidity alone will drain you. I guess the states that are considered dry heat might be a better help, cause moisture creates mold too. Hope you have a great holiday and stay safe Peace.
