Sometimes there is a price to pay for living in such a beautiful city. Louisville may bring tears to your eyes with its high pollen count. Kentucky bluegrass is the top offender for allergy sufferers as it produces more pollen than any other grass in the United States. Be mindful when going for your morning walk as this is peak time for pollen to be released into the air. It may even be worth your while to wear a mask to cover your nose and mouth if you’re overly sensitive. The pollen here spikes in late spring and early summer months, making Louisville the worst place to live in for allergy sufferers for two years in a row.
