How are your allergies holding up this season? 

A recent report by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America found that Houston is one of the worst places in the United States for those who suffer from seasonal allergies – but not as bad as Dallas. 

The Houston region ranked 12th on the health nonprofit's list of "allergy capitals," which are the most challenging places to live with allergies in the country's 48 contiguous states. 

Other Texas cities' rankings: 
No. 2 Dallas 
No. 25 McAllen
No. 37 San Antonio 
No. 39 El Paso

The report says this has been exacerbated in heavily populated urban areas, which tend to trap more heat and have more air pollution, which can increase allergic sensitivity.
