Hope it helps!

What state has the lowest pollen count year round? Am currently in TX %26amp; allergies are so bad I may move?
when I lived in Northern California right on the Coast in Ferndale I never had a problem. I guess because the ocean blew all the pollen inland, Usualy a terrible hayfever person
Reply:I assumed that Nevada would have a low all-around allergen count, but boy was I wrong. Vegas is ranked #16 out of 100 in the top 100 worst cities for allergies in the US.





In all actuality, moving from one place to another is not an effective solution for allergies, because you'll develop allergies to the prevalent allergens wherever you go. In Oklahoma, it was mold from the constant humidity, then I come to Nevada and it's the dust. Any place with grass, trees, or weeds is going to have pollen, which is usually lowest in the winter and worst in the spring, summer, or fall depending on the type.





The best way to decrease allergies is to take allergy medications like antihistamines, decongestants and others. You could also try allergy shots, acupuncture, or homeopathic remedies. Having a food allergy test done can pinpoint your food sensitivities/allergies, and by decreasing your intake of these allergens, you'll lessen your overall symptoms of allergy. It's like a bucket that gets fuller with each exposure: with just pollen, you may be okay. Add animal dander and you'll start to sneeze. Add a food allergen and you'll be in the throes of a full-blown allergy attack. The bucket has just overflowed.





Keeping your home free of dust, mold, and animal dander can help as well, and the bedroom is the most important room to keep clean. Wash bedding once a week and hair daily during pollen season. Use the air conditioner in the car and keep the windows rolled up. Avoid being outdoors in the early morning hours, as that's when most things release pollen. Change filters on air cleaners and air conditioners frequently and vacuum often. Take a good multi-vitamin plus extra vitamin C during allergy season to keep the immune system running at peak efficiency.





It's a full-time job trying to avoid allergens, but to date, these are the best methods we have for making our lives allergy-friendly.
Reply:If I had to guess, I'd say your best bet is probably a desert state like Arizona or Nevada. My wife has allergies so I know what you are going through.
Reply:probably either new mexico or arizona.
Reply:any state that can grow dank
Reply:DON'T move, take a teaspoon of LOCAL honey each day and you will have NO air born allergies within a month or so. Your body will develop immunities-naturally- as you ingest the local honey. You will also notice that you are overall healthier and you don't catch every little germ that floats your way. This really works and its good for you unlike medications that dry out your body causing complications due to dehydration.
