Asthma Alert

It’s a dangerous time of year for asthma sufferers, especially if you’re a student.
President of the Asthma Society of Canada Dr. Robert Oliphant says about a quarter of hospital admissions for asthma happen in a two week period called the September asthma peak.
He says part of the reason is that a lot of kids stop taking their medication once summer break rolls around.
Oliphant says you should be taking your medication throughout the summer.
Oliphant says the attacks are also triggered by the extra mold and dustmites that collect in schools when they’re closed during the summer.
