Each year the Asthma and Allergy Found of America declares that May is ‘National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month.’ May is a perfect month for increased awareness of these conditions, because of the increase in allergens, pollen, and other triggers in the air we breathe.

May is also the beginning of the summer travel season and that means increased amounts of smog and air pollution. The month of May is a great time to educate family, friends, co-workers, and others about the dangers of allergies and asthma.

Check out this press release from the AAFA. There is great information on recent asthma and allergy news, as well as, an entire section with information about the recent Swine Flu outbreak.
