This time of year is always good for two things, happy warm days and miserable congested nights. I'm feeling this year's seasonal allergy affects particularly hard and apparently it's because of the cold weeks mixed with sporadic hot days. Luckily the Hudson Valley is not the worst by far when it comes to spring allergy misery. Check out the top spring allergy capitals for 2019 below:
- McAllen, Texas
- Jackson, Mississippi
- Providence, Rhode Island
- Memphis, Tennessee
- Springfield, Massachusetts
- Louisville, Kentucky
- New Orleans, Louisiana
- Scranton, Pennsylvania
- Baton Rouge, Louisiana
- Richmond, Virginia
So what can you do to relieve some of the misery? The number one suggestion is to stay inside but if you can't, take a shower at night! Showering at night ensures that you're not rolling around in pollen in your sleep and helps with allergy symptoms when you wake up. Happy Spring everyone! More on this year's allergies here.
