Two Texas Cities Ranked Highly As “Allergy Captials” In Nation

To many in the state of Texas, health is a top priority.

When we don't feel good, we don't do things to best of our normal abilities. This, in turn, could cause problems at our job, or make us stay home, missing any big events we were looking forward to. So we all avoid things that could make us ill.

Unfortunately, there are things in the environment around us that could potentially make us feel unwell for short period of time. Most of the time it's a smell. Other times it's the dreaded (and annoying) item known as pollen.

But for two specific cities in the Lone Star State, allergies are simply the worst to deal with, as new data has revealed.

- Availability of board-certified allergists/immunologists
