Board-certified allergists can help people with asthma get their symptoms under control

May is “National Asthma- and Allergy-Awareness Month”—a great time to evaluate whether your asthma is under control. Doctor Kathleen May is the president of the “American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology”… “Many people don’t know that board-certified allergists specialize in asthma-care—and that they can help get symptoms under control. While asthma can’t be cured, it can be controlled. And, when it’s controlled, you can expect improvement in your overall health.” Can climate-change affect asthma- and allergy-symptoms? “New research shows that pollen-seasons now start 20 days earlier, last 10 days longer, and have about 20-percent more pollen than in 1990. This means [that] people who have pollen as a trigger for asthma- and nasal-symptoms should start medications sooner—because symptoms will start earlier. Board-certified allergists have other tools to help.” Learn more at “a-c-a-a-i”-dot-org. I’m Bob Tebo, for the “Consumer Radio Network”.
