Spring Sneezing

America has its sailing capital and its furniture capital, its fast food capital and its bicycling capital. Now, to the city's chagrin, Lexington, KY, has been named America's spring allergy capital. The Asthma氣喘 and Allergy Foundation of America gives a yearly ranking of areas where those with hay fever will suffer the worst based on pollen scores, the number of allergy medications used per patient and the number of allergy specialists per patient. This year, the list is led by Lexington; Greensboro, NC, Johnson City, TN, Augusta, GA, and Jackson, MS, complete the top five.
