Which cities in the US have the most allergies? Check out the map

Spring represents a new start, with warmer weather, blooming flowers, and longer days. However, for people who suffer from seasonal allergies, spring is characterized by increased itchy eyes and throat, runny nose, and sneezing.

Spring is a particularly difficult time for the 80 million people who suffer from seasonal allergies.

Allergy season has arrived early and is expected to continue for a long time. The nonprofit news organization Climate Central reported that North America’s pollen season is 20 days longer than it was in 1990.

In recent years, climate change has led to an increase in the number of frost-free days, higher seasonal temperatures, and changes in rainfall patterns. These factors cause the plant to flower earlier and for longer.

Where is the highest amount of pollen scattered?

As of early April, parts of the South, Southeast and Midwest have the highest pollen counts in the nation, according to data from Pollen.com.

During the first week of April, pollen counts were highest in Denver, Colorado, Colorado Springs, and Dallas, Texas.
