Allergy season in Middle Tennessee

Nashville ranks among the allergy capitals of the nation. In fact, it doesn’t feel like we have an allergy season so much as a rotating set of different allergy seasons. But why?

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the environmental, geographical and sociopolitical factors that shape our local allergy problem, and how it affects our community.

But first, it’s time for @Us! with our digital lead, Anna Gallegos-Cannon.

Guests: 

• Richard Hitt, President of Wild Ones Middle Tennessee
• Dr. Eva Parker, expert on climate change’s impact on allergies and professor of dermatology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center
• Dr. Rakesh K. Chandra, Chief of the Division of Nasal and Sinus Disorders in the Bill Wilkerson Center at Vanderbilt University Medical Center
