Worst Cities for Spring Allergies

8. Memphis, TN

Memphis, Tennessee, world-famous for its Tennesee-style pulled pork BBQ, took 8th place on the top 100 worst cities for spring allergies. In one study, people who experienced seasonal allergies were 2.67 times more likely to also have irritable bowel syndrome. Unfortunately, symptoms of IBS, such as diarrhea and cramping, can also be triggered by spicy, fatty and meaty foods like Memphis BBQ.
