Nifty little map that gives the allergy index for each area of the US. You can also select your specific state and city, or enter you area code.
Now this is what I think of when I think of an allergy index. A nicely designed, easy-to-use tool to get your local pollen count forecast. You also can get a good look at the national picture, and there are some good allergy and asthma informational articles on the site to boot.
I didn't find this site quite as useful as an overall allergy index, however it did have some very useful tools. There was good info on general allergic reactions, and I found the health news interesting as well as the pollen count finder. The information here was extremely basic however, and didn't go into any specifics other than the pollen and breathing issues. Still, I think it belongs here as it did have a variety of information links.
