To mark Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month this May, Lawn Love ranked 2023’s Worst Cities for Grass Allergies this summer. The study authors compared 131 metro areas based on allergy risk, exacerbators, and access to detection and treatment resources. More specifically, they looked at grass pollen forecasts, allergen intensity, and lawn mowing frequency, among nine total metrics. And wouldn’t you know…CT cities landed in the 3rd and 4th spot. Well, Dr. Browne wasn’t surprised. He explained why allergies are so tough in our state.
