Known and not so well-known triggers for Asthma

Allergens (particles that cause allergies) such as dust mites, cockroaches, pollen, molds and animal dander (which are tiny scales or particles that fall off hair, feathers or skin) from any pets.

Aspirin

Peanuts

Particulates (air-born pollution)

Cold air or hot stuffy environments, or sudden changes in temperature

Tobacco smoke and wood smoke

Perfume, paint, hair spray, or any strong odors or fumes

Common cold, influenza, and other respiratory illnesses

Food chemicals that may trigger asthma include: Sulphites (sulphur dioxide and sodium metabisulphite)

Food colours (tartrazine)

Monosodium glutamate (MSG)

Alcoholic drinks (Sulfite additives have been associated with triggering asthmatic responses. They are present in significant levels in most wines, but other ingredients in wine can also trigger an asthmatic response.)

Asthma and Body Fat?
Obesity - The dramatic increase in the number of asthmatics may be linked to an increase in levels of obesity, scientists have said. Researchers have found that the fatter the adult, the greater the likelihood of asthma. Your Occupation and even plastics can be asthma triggers under certain environments. Exercise, especially in cold air, is a frequent asthma trigger. Overeating, and even laughing excessively can trigger an immediate asthma reaction.

Controversial Asthma triggers..
* Organophosphates - the widespread use of organophosphate insecticides to address pest infestations in lower socio-economic areas, may contribute to the very disproportionate high rates of asthma in disadvantaged black and minority communities in the US.
* Toluene - 72% of asthma patients in a study showed adverse reactions to perfumes; i.e., pulmonary function tests dropping anywhere between 18% and 58% below baseline (from "Affects of Odors in Asthma," Chang Shim, MD and M. Henry Williams, MD, American Journal of Medicine, January, 1986 Vol. 80)

Allergy symtoms seem to be rising with every new generation, with foods like peanuts and seafood causing so many more allergic reactions than we remeber in the past. Is asthma and allergic reactions going to continue to increase? Nobody can really say for sure, but what we can say is that there are some very unconventional ways of making sure your children do not develop allergic problems in their future.

Allergic Disease and Dog Exposure
Exposure to dogs in the first year of life enhances the development of the immune system, which reduces allergic sensitization and atopic dermatitis, according to a study featured in a February 2004 Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI). The JACI is the peer-reviewed scientific journal of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.

Professional colleagues from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, followed 285 infants from birth to one year, comparing pet exposure in the home with their cytokine secretion patterns and allergy indicators. The study found that home exposure to dogs, but not cats, in the first year of life was associated with a reduction in atopic dermatitis, an itchy skin rash common in allergic families, and also in allergen specific IgE (the allergic antibody) in the bloodstream at age one year. The prevalence of eczema, which is often the first manifestation of allergy, after one year was 12% in children exposed to dogs, compared to 43% in children with no exposure. more..

Allergies from the Inside
With decreases in temperature and arrival of winter's cold weather, you may be more than happy to stay indoors. However, for people who suffer from indoor allergies, staying indoors may make them just as miserable as the cold weather.

Allergies affect between 40 and 50 million people in the United States. While seasonal allergies may come and go, perennial, or year-round, allergy sufferers deal with stuffy or runny noses, itchy eyes, sneezing, and wheezing 365 days a year. Indoor allergies are the body's physical reactions to inhaled airborne particles called allergens. These indoor allergens usually include house dust mite droppings, animal dander, cockroach droppings and indoor mold. more..

Asthma in the genes
What causes asthma and how can we cure it?
A question that puzzled scientists through the ages. But thanks to new advances in the study of genetics we are on the brink of a discovery that will revolutionise the diagnosis and treatment of asthma.

Like it or not, we generally have our parents to thank for our physical features, how we develop, and how we respond to our environment. Not only that but many diseases and allergies, including asthma, also run in families. The chances of developing asthma however are not solely due to our genetic make up. We are in the hands of both nature and nurture because environmental factors such as our home environment, the food we eat and our lifestyle also plays a part in the development of asthma. read more..

Asthma test for babies
How do you accurately test how well the lungs are working in young babies?
It is a question that has eluded scientists for a long time, but now an answer could be just around the corner.

What happens to a person's airways in the first few years of life can have an important impact on their future respiratory health. The things that affect the lungs and airways before birth and in very early childhood may influence whether a child will develop conditions of the airways, such as asthma, in later life. Until now, it has always been difficult to get an accurate idea of what is going on in the lungs of very young infants. But all that is set to change, thanks to National Asthma Campaign funded research currently taking place. In adults with respiratory conditions, airway sensitivity is measured by looking at changes in the way the airways work after they have inhaled certain naturally-occurring agents. The most common agents used to measure bronchial responsiveness are histamine or methacholine. Using these substances in adults is relatively problem free, but the situation is different in babies. Adults are able to make a choice about whether or not they are happy to participate in studies involving these inhalations; very young children can't. Understandably, parents find the idea of their child inhaling substances unacceptable and are unhappy for them to be tested in this way. more..
