10 Worst Cities for Allergies and Why

4. Memphis, Tennessee

It’s more bad news for Tennessee residents who just can’t seem to escape the allergies in their state. The warm days and cool nights during springtime in Memphis send pollen levels into full blast. Although the near perfect temperatures may tempt you, it’s best to close your windows and run the aid conditioner if you suffer from allergies. Pollen levels are reported to be better this year than last, but you may still want to be cautious if you’re considering moving here. Be sure to keep all pets groomed and clean if you’re looking to improve your indoor dander exposure.

3. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

This sunny state often brings out the pollen in nearby trees, which can bring out the tissues from your pockets. Temperatures here along with the dry, warm and windy conditions are ideal for pollen to thrive. It’s not uncommon for pollen grains to be carried a long ways in the wind. The top tree offenders for pollen in this city include poplar, mulberry, aspen, oak and sycamore. You may find some relief in changing your clothes often and bathing after being outdoors for long periods of time if you suffer from allergies.
