This is the worst part of the country for allergies.

The latest proof is from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

It says Knoxville, Tennessee is the worst city in America for allergy sufferers.

And Louisville is third.

The numbers are based on a city's pollen score, the number of allergy specialists per capita and the amount of allergy medicines used.

An estimated 40 million Americans suffer from springtime allergies.
