Funny how many "big city" names got in there. I guarantee you it's worse in Tuscaloosa than it is in Birmingham for example because of the amount of trees and vegetation there are -always- right around you. B'ham has plenty of concrete. Just like, my opinion though... man.

*edit*

Not to say those cities don't qualify for horrible spring allergies.

Can confirm with Zyrtec-D and Flonase in hand.

This 30 one day and 70 the next shite isn't helping matters either.

Decadron is a wonderful drug during allergy season.

These lists are so subjective, they make them merely for page views.



Dumb lists are dumb.

I moved from Dallas to BR for school, and my biggest fear was the allergies down here. They were actually significantly better when I moved, I was able to stop taking a daily antihistamine. It was quite a refreshing improvement.

I don't know about allergies, but the pollen on my car/driveway was always worse in Tuscaloosa than Birmingham

As a current resident of Jacktown, Mississippi, I would argue it should be #1. I have not been able to breathe for the past 3 days, and this is only the beginning.
