1 Arizona

2 New Mexico

3 Nevada

4 Utah

5 California

In short, the dry states of the west.

The more humid areas are surprisingly easier on me. When we lived in Houston even though stuff grew like a jungle, the pollen seemed to get trapped by the heavy air and maybe by other foliage. I don’t know if this is accurate or if my allergies didn't catch up to me, but I felt great year-round. I felt the same relief when on the wetter coasts of California, back when the coast got humid.

It seems like even though Utah has less plants the dryness allows stuff to blow around more freely.

If you are a big time sufferer in the spring try a few weeks to months living in a more humid area, or maybe more practically keep a humidifier going at your domain and see if that helps.
