Scotties emailed me and gave me information on the 10 cities that will have experienced the worst allergies this year. Is your city on the list?

1. Jacksonville, MS *worst*
2. Louisville, KY
3. Oklahoma, OK
4. Memphis, TN
5. Knoxville, TN
6. McAllen, TX
7. Wichita, KS
8. Dayton, OH
9. Providence, RI
10. Richmond, VA

I’m not going to lie, I’m shocked my city isn’t on there (Tampa). I never had allergies when I lived in Connecticut. But ever since we moved to Florida, I’ve experienced itchy eyes and sneezing. For a while I was even getting allergy shots! For me, my allergies were triggered when my husband and I lived in a horrible apartment in the Tampa Bay area. Something about the apartment (we suspected mold) triggered all of my allergies. All of a sudden I was allergic to my dog, my cats, grass and even palm trees (per the allergy testing). Once we left that apartment, my allergies were not so extreme. But I do deal with itchy eyes and sneezing almost daily. And yes, we still have our animal babies. I was fortunate that my dog and cat allergies were not extreme. I’ve always loved Scotties tissues and thus it made perfect sense for me to post about them! Their tissues are durable and yet soft. The perfect combination for runny noses!

On Amazon, we can now order Scotties in bulk! Go HERE to see the available deals!

Everyday Health listed some great tips on fighting allergies. Go HERE to see the list. Below are some of my favorite tips:

1) Wear Sunglasses to Keep Pollen Out of Your Eyes- “The best kinds of sunglasses to wear are dark glasses that wrap around to block as much wind pollen as possible,” Dr. Hong says.
2) Kill Dust Mites With a Hot Wash – Wash all of your bedding in hot water and drying it in a hot dryer to kill dust mites. Keep stuffed animals off the bed, and wash sheets and blankets at least once a week in water that’s 130° F or higher to limit the effects of dust mites.
3) Take a Vacation From Pollen – During pollen season, head to places where there is less pollen. (For me, that’s the beach! Maybe this is a good excuse to go to the beach more often!)
4) Adjust Home Humidity to Control Mold – Mold thrives in moisture. To help control indoor mold, use a dehumidifier or your air conditioner to keep your home humidity close to 50 percent. Take the guesswork out of measuring indoor humidity with a device called a hygrometer. It’s also important to clean up water spills promptly, fix any leaks, and change the filters in your air conditioner and heating ducts regularly.

    Hi in the past two years I have been suffering from allergies, never had before but all of a sudden this pops up, I have not been tested by the doctor but is seems to happen soon as everything starts to bloom. So I am really not sure to pin point one thing I always say pollen.

  14. Christy says

    My poor 13 year old daughter just had an allergy test done and she was allergic to 56 of the 72 tests they did. This too has happened ever since we moved to Tampa from Pennsylvania.

    I never had allergies until around age 20. Now my eyes get really itchy and watery whenever there is anything in the air… dust, mold/mildew, pollen, animal hair, etc. When it gets worse, my ears get plugged, and I sneeze as well! Here’s to winning some Scotties tissues.

    Honestly I don’t think I suffer from any allergies and we haven’t determined that my kids do either.
