Interesting article with some alarming facts, thanks for the infomative read. Ive got four children between 19 + 5 and luckily we dont have any probs with asthma do know a lot of people whom do.

Wow I had never heard if this spike in feb before. I guess my kids are lucky they don’t suffer from asthma.

I wonder if going back into classrooms that have been shut up gathering dust all summer has something to do with it?

  Yes I hadn’t thought of that. Not only is my son asthmatic, but he’s also allergic to dust mites. I think dust mites irritate a number of people.

This has totally got me worried about my little man starting kinder. But it also makes soooo much sense and explains some of his previous major attacks. Thanks for the eye opener.

Lucky for us our children at this point in time don’t have asthma, where as both parents do.

We are already prepared and have been for a month or so with our updated asthma action and anaphylaxis plans. Thanks so much for your article and creating awareness around this issue.

It is a stressful time for little children to have to leave their parents again for another year of schooling after being home constantly for 6 weeks

Need to pay more attention about this. Not good for kids.

Interesting! My kids both have asthma and you can forget the ventolin i the excitement of packing the new books and stationary. We always found the worse tie for asthma for them was August/September.
