"Rising Pollen Levels: The Worsening Allergy Season in US Cities"

Myrtle Beach's allergy season has lengthened by 48 days since 1970, ranking it seventh in the United States for the most drastic change. Warmer winters, attributed to climate change, are driving the longer allergy seasons, with the city experiencing a three-degree Fahrenheit increase since the 1970s. This poses a significant problem for those with allergies or asthma, particularly impacting the elderly population and adding financial strain due to increased asthma management expenses. While Myrtle Beach isn't listed as a top place to live for asthmatics, other cities in South Carolina have been identified as challenging places to live with asthma and pollen allergies.
