New Research Ranks 2 Connecticut Cities Amongst Worst For Allergic reactions

Sneezing and wheezing our way through the day is something none of us enjoy doing, and some of us suffer from seasonal allergies more than others. Something called 2022 Allergy Capitals did a study in 100 cities across our country, and Connecticut has 2 in the top 10 worst cities nationwide for seasonal allergies.
