Allergy season is upon us in Indiana. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, you might want to avoid these cities at all costs in the Hoosier State.

If you're like me, the weather we experience this time of year here in Indiana really messes with your allergies. The flowers are blooming, the farmers are in the field, and you're sneezing and rubbing your eyes all day long. It's spring, and with that comes seasonal allergies for many Hoosiers. It seems like most of the people I know tend to struggle around this time when it comes to allergies. In fact, my household has been hit very hard with allergies recently. There are many factors that contribute to seasonal allergies. I mean, you name it, and Indiana has it. Tree pollen, grass pollen, weed pollen, and the air itself, in some cases. Oh, and 2025 is shaping up to be the worst season for allergies yet, according to a new study!
