How Does Hot Weather Affect Asthma ?
It is a fact that breathing difficulties associated with asthma are affected by hot weather.

That idea stems from new research in two farming-based religious communities that shun modern ways but have dramatically different childhood asthma rates. The goal was to find an explanation for why asthma is so uncommon among Amish communities, where children run barefoot in dairy barns and farm fields, but much higher in the other group.

Amish And Hutterite Kids Help Explain Lower Risk For Asthma In Farms
The Amish are known for their old-fashioned, technology-free way of life, and researchers have found that they hold the answers on the origins of asthma.

Allergies and Asthma Can Be Harder to Control at School Than at Home
Newswise — ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL. (August 2, 2016) – You work hard to keep your child’s allergies and asthma under control. You clean to get rid of dust mites and pet dander, and you make sure your kids are taking the right medications at the right time. Then you send them off to school and your routine can fall apart, leaving your child with symptoms that aren’t controlled.
“Environmental allergens – things like mold, dust mites and dander from the class pet – can all affect your child’s allergies and make their symptoms worse,” says allergist Bryan Martin, DO, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI). “There are also many asthma triggers in the classroom, and uncontrolled asthma accounts for almost 14 million lost school days a year”.....

Asthma in Texas
August in Texas is not for the weak of heart or lung.
