Title: Study with most allergic places to live
Post by: my3guys on April 10, 2013, 07:57:23 AM
This study was released by the Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America.  If you click the link, the top 100 most allergic places to live pops up, based on a few criteria. Interesting. And yes, where we live made the list. :tongue:

Well, I already KNOW that the only reason {where I live} isn't on their list is that it doesn't have a major metropolitan center in it that they examined.

Because Eugene/Springfield OR has some of the highest grass pollen counts on the PLANET.  Seriously.

They top 10K regularly between May and July-- most places "200" is over-the-top high for grass pollens.   ~)

Just didn't want anyone to think this was Nirvana or anything.  I'm suspicious of their data set, let's just say.

100 major metropolitan areas, 50 states. Wouldn't most people be near one of the areas called out?
