Best place to live in US for allergy sufferer? - Allergies Message Board

I live in Maryland, between Baltimore and Washington, and I suffer terribly from allergies. I pop Claritin like Elvis and Betty Ford popped Valium. What are some of the best locations in the lower US continental states to live for allergy sufferers? Mid West? Rocky Mountains? North West? I am ready to move to any other location if it will reduce my allergy problems.

That completely depends on what you're allergic to.

They used to say the Southwest was the best, since there are no trees or mold no mold, but since so many people have been moving there and planting trees, it's not that great anymore. Probably still better than most places, I imagine.

I, too, have always heard that Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado were the best places for persons with allergies to live. The air is supposed to be drier and not moist which can aggrevate sinuses and allergies.

I've always heard one of the best is to live near the ocean (like within a mile). The desert also works for some.
