The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America has calculated the cities in the U.S. where hay fever and related allergic reactions are most severe.More than 100 million Americans live with various types of allergies, according to the CDC, most often seasonal allergies caused by pollen. The AAFA once again crowned Wichita, Kan.
'We're seeing tree pollen season start about 20 days earlier than it did just 30 years ago,' Mendez said. 'So, nationally, we're noticing an earlier start to tree pollen release.'Mendez said the milder weather in February this year made pollen season start about two weeks earlier than usual. Pollen counts were also higher than average during that time.A warming climate is a major contributor to the longer and more intense allergy seasons, according to experts.
