Five Summer Asthma and Allergy Triggers
1. Bugs, especially the stinging kind. Stings can be painful and life threatening to some people. Be careful around open soda cans and sweet drinks, as these attract bugs. If you have severe reactions, talk to your doctor about carrying an EpiPen (Epinephrine shot).
2. Chlorine: this pool chemical can cause asthma flare-ups.
3. Campfire smoke: can bring on asthma symptoms - try and stay up wind.
4. Weather changes: wind circulates pollen and mold triggering allergy symptoms.
5. Fruits and vegetables: especially peaches, apples and melons. Fruit can cause tingling in the mouth especially for people with pollen allergies.
