Asthma is one of the most insidious diseases around.
It comes on without warning and is seemingly exacerbated by a host of
unrelated issues. In short, it is a real impediment for sufferers who
want to live life to the fullest. With those facts in mind, here are a
few things that our Arizona asthma doctors want the sufferer to be made aware of order to minimize their susceptibility to the disease:
Man-made
pollutants – Smoke, sulfites and other airborne particulates created by
modern technology are a significant trigger of asthma attacks in the
Phoenix area. Remaining indoors while at home or keeping the windows up
while traveling are simple fixes that can really help during the allergy
season.
Natural
substances – It is not just man-made irritants that are a problem as
everything from pollen and pet dander to dust mites and particles of
cockroach waste can trigger an allergic reaction in susceptible
individuals.
Food allergies
– While generally not recognized by the general public, anaphylactic
shock from food allergies is one of the most potent promoters of asthma
in an unsuspecting patient. The body's natural desire to rid itself of
the
Phoenix
and the surrounding Maricopa County area is just now starting to hit
the worst part of the allergy season – September through the end of
November. For more information on avoiding the worst of the asthma and asthmatic allergies, please contact us at Adult & Pediatric Allergy Associates, P.C..
