Wow...Marcie, look how high Phoenix is, I thought they were touted as an allergy-free zone?
I can vouch for Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham, mine used to get worse almost as soon as I crossed the VA/NC border!!! I dehydrated during a race down there once and almost passed out from taking too many Claritin the night before!
I can't believe Philly is as low as it is. It's awful around here.....I bet a lot of that Harrisburg pollen is blowing into Chester County....achoo!!
HA!!! You'll notice Madison, my possible future hometown, is NOT on that list!

I grew up in Fort Worth and do not remember allergies ever being a problem. Once I got to Austin I became an allegra/flonoase junkie.

Da Ville is numba 3?? No wonder I couldn't ever breathe as a kid. I lived there for the first 18 years of my life. 
Funnily enough, my sister never had allergies, used to mock me in fact "Mother,  she's chewing with her mouth open and breathing loudly, make her stop" yeah, because I lost all function of my nose, dear sister. and she moves trom L'ville to Austin and hasn't breathed in 5 years. is it wrong I take pleasure in this?
I will say my allergies are MUCH better here in H-town. Asthma however seems to be worse.

I can say that I have lived around many of these areas:
12 & 17 Columbus and Cinti, OH were an hour away from Dayton.
Terrible allergy problems there for me.
23 Phoenix, AZ Doing ok here.
24 Greenville, SC Did ok for the most part
36 Orlando, FL TERRIBLE!!! I went home this past summer and my allegies caused me to have: Pink Eye, Bronchitis and Vertigo. Needless to say, I forgot to take any of my prescriptions with me.

They obviously have never run down a gravel road during Harvest season.

My allergies were killing me all last week. This week isn't starting off well either. Does anyone know if Claritin is any good? I noticed they sell it OTC now, but criminy the price was outragous!

I also have a nasal enhaler prescribed from the doctor. It does the trick for me.
