Top Symptoms Searched in US

Curious to know which diseases states are most paranoid about? So were we. After shortly getting sidetracked with Zombie Deer Disease search trends, (yeah, they are rising!) the Flu won out as most commonly searched symptom across the US (landing in the top three searches per state). But if you want to know which states have particularly questionable queries… keep reading! Did you know that in the DC area, the most searched illness symptom was food poisoning, while neighboring state Virginia was busy googling carbon monoxide poisoning? Curious, don’t you think, that the area with the highest concentration of politicians is searching for symptoms of food and carbon monoxide poisoning? If you work at a hospital in Nevada, data suggests you might have numerous communicable diseases in your waiting room, like chlamydia and pink eye. Apparently what happens in Vegas sometimes comes home with you. For those of you dreaming about retiring in Hawaii, it seems that panic attacks are a big concern there. Maybe because it’s one of the most expensive places to live in the US? Those hailing from Alabama are searching for symptoms of dry drowning (it’s scary and serious), and residents of Connecticut are concerned with gluten intolerance…and tapeworm. Interesting.
