Poor Knoxville

I came across an article yesterday that stated that "Knoxville has it all: high pollen counts, high use of allergy medications by residents, and not enough allergists to treat them". The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America did a study of this season's allergy count and found the following cities to be the hardest hit by allergies...
1. Knoxville, TN
2. Louisville, KY
3. Chattanooga, TN
4. Dayton, OH
5. Charlotte, NC
6. Philadelphia, PA
7. Greensboro, NC
8. Jackson, MS
9. St. Louis, MO
10. Wichita, KS
Then for those of you lucky enough to live these cities, they were at the bottom of the list. For once it's BEST to be at the bottom! People living in these cities are least affected by springtime allergies.
100. Harrisburg, PA
99. San Diego, CA
98. Daytona Beach, FL
97. Boise City, ID
96. Miami, FL
95. Oxnard, CA
94. Fresno. CA
93. Denver, CO
92. Los Angeles, CA
91. Colorado Springs, CO
