Hayfever season is in full swing, and it can be a real pain, causing tickly noses, itchy eyes, and incessant sneezing. But it turns out that certain places in the UK are worse for it than others. A recent study has found that the top 10 most allergy-prone locations in the UK are:

* Dry your clothes indoors to minimize how much pollen gets into the fabric.
