Greensboro finds itself near the top of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America's 100 Spring Allergy Capitals.
The listing released today has Lexington, Ky., at No. 1 and Greensboro at No. 2.
The rankings are based on the impact that key factors have on the severity of allergies in each city, including:
* Detailed seasonal pollen counts and related measures
* Use of over-the-counter and prescription allergy medications
* Number of Board Certified allergists
AAFA publishes the rankings every year.
