inhaler. Eighteen months and several inhalers later, Simlett found he did
not have asthma at all. He had merely been suffering from a short-term
lung infection.Simlett still worries about the long-term implications of
taking medication he did not need. And he would like to know why he

asthma attacks SINCE the 70s, researchers have reported a startling rise
in the prevalence of asthma among children and young adults, particularly
in the affluent countries. What is more frightening is the rise in the

Mother’s asthma exacerbates cat risk Exposure to pet linked to disease’s
development Washington — Boston scientists will report this week that
the presence of a family cat might help prevent an allergy-prone child
from developing asthma — unless the child’s mother already has asthma.In
that case, exposure to a cat could triple the odds that a child would
develop signs of asthma by the fifth birthday, the scientists say.On the
other hand, exposure to a dog seems to have no effect either way, they
say.An account of the research will appear this week… , of 527 words .

in her chest that meant she wouldn’t be taking her usual long walk
through the countryside near her home in Hillsborough, that she would
have trouble teaching music that day.
