I have been looking at the allergy levels for the zip code area where I live; the count is always above 10.0 - in the high range. So I got curious and look at the Forbes listing for Phoenix - rated number 21; Total Score: 79.17; Pollen Score: Average; Medicine Utilization per Patient: Worse than Average; Board-Certified Allergists per Patient: Better than Average. According to the report, it appears we have enough medical professionals around to help us, as long as we find the right medication and consistently use it for relief of symptoms. Forbes mentioned how the pollen counts were unexpectedly high for the desert because of all the non-indigenous plant life brought into the area over the decades. I guess one shouldn't fool around so much with the balance of good Mother Nature. Tony Hi Elaine

Must be all those plants and grasses they brought down there from the North. Gene Elaine,
