Coming in with a score of 99.62 from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, Knoxville is number five on our list of worse cities for allergies. It is rated worse than average on the number of individuals using mediation and airborne pollen levels, though it does score better than average on the number of allergists available to allergy sufferers. Seasonal allergies have been shown to spike during times of stress, so treat yourself to a spa day during peak pollen season and blame it on allergies. Tennessee is about to get even worse for those who suffer from allergies, with yet another city in this state making the list.
