 Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month


Breast Cancer Awareness MonthApproximately 50 million Americans suffer from allergies and an additional 17 million have asthma. This month, sponsored by the Allergy and Asthma Network Mothers of Asthmatics (AANMA), aims to increase community knowledge and awareness of asthma and allergies. From a runny nose and itchy eyes to shortness of breath, both can cause disturbances in your everyday life. Symptom control and management, through education, are the best preventive measures you can take.
