Asthma Rate Rises Sharply in U.S., Government Says
"Nearly one in 10 children and almost one in 12 Americans of all ages now has asthma."
“We don’t know exactly why the number is going up, but, importantly, we know there are measures individuals with asthma can take to control symptoms,” said Ileana Arias, principal deputy director of the centers.
This article was very surprising! My Mom just found out she had asthma in the last year. My oldest sister also has asthma. As I get older, I would not be surprised if I had it either because I have a very hard time breathing in general.
According to this article, the cause isn't from things like it used to be - including smoking. They're not sure why it is rising.
I think it's from the crazy amount of pollen that is in the air!
