April 24, 2008 -- Lexington, Ky., tops the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America's 2008 list of "spring allergy capitals."

    The closest for me is number 100!!  Seattle would be the next.  I wonder what causes this in each city?  Seattle is right on the water, so with a good breeze you would think it would be pretty clear.  That's an interesting list Kim!  ::nsmile::

    We are right in one of the cities..Rochester, NY at #30.  Next closest is #66  Buffalo NY.

    This is the basis:

     The annual list is based on four factors: allergy prevalence, seasonal pollen, allergy medication use per patient, and the number of board-certified allergy specialists per patient. Rankings can change quite a bit from year to year. For instance, Lexington leads this year's rankings but was in the No. 52 spot on the 2007 list.
