In the spirit of good lung health and discovering asthma that needs to be controlled, The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI), is offering free asthma screenings across the county! From personal experience, myself included, folks often don’t even realize that they are experiencing asthma and believe they are “congested” or have a cold. Children growing up with asthma often don’t know what it feels like to take in a full breath since they never have! Therefore, they don’t even know there is a problem or that they have asthma ! These kinds of screenings are crucial and can be life saving too! asthma and free asthma screenings teamed up to make this possible in 100 cities across the US.

One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
Awesome info, Caroline! I’ll be passing on the word for sure! 🙂 Thank you!
