Worst Cities for Spring Allergies for 2016
Memphis, Tennessee, world-famous for its Tennesee-style pulled pork BBQ, is the runner-up to the worst city in America for spring allergies and is the second city in Tennessee in the top 10. Allergies cannot be completely cured, but there are treatments available to manage them and actions that can help prevent reactions. Prescription and non-prescription medications, including antihistamines, are used to treat seasonal and pollen allergies. Long-term treatment of other allergies may require immunotherapy to allow the body to increase its tolerance to an allergen over time.
