If you or your child have allergies or asthma, you already know that many things can bring on, or "trigger," an asthma flare or episode. Some things that trigger asthma attacks are called allergens. Some people get symptoms from only one allergen - like dust mites. For other people, more than one kind of allergen can trigger an episode.
Tobacco smoke is an asthma trigger. Avoid smoking in a home…

Since so much science is involved in the formulation and evaluation of the cleaning products we use, the American Cleaning Institute wants to help children of all ages understand the difference between these sound scientific studies and “junk science,” in which unproven theories are presented as fact.
World Asthma Day is around the corner (May 7), so now is the time to focus on some things you can do to reduce the amount of dust, pet dander, and other triggers around your house.
However long it takes you, ACI has a few suggestions for addressing the ABCs of spring cleaning.

During this challenging winter, many of us were snowed in with our pets whose dander is one of the most common triggers. Compound that with a few months of everyday dust and the tiniest unwelcome guests who seek shelter in our homes during cold weather, and it’s time to do away with the "A."
Have an allergen control plan. Clean one…
