ASTHMA & ALLERGY AWARENESS MONTH
In the U.S., asthma and allergic diseases such as pollen allergies or food allergies affect more than 60 million people. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of American (AAFA) has declared May to be National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. During this month, AAFA is working to raise awareness about these allergic diseases.
You can help raise awareness too. Asthma and allergies rates are growing. Better awareness helps those with these conditions get better treatment and care.
Here are three ways you can raise awareness during Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month:
1. Follow us on social media. All month, we will be posting about campaigns, managing symptoms, items you can buy and more to raise awareness.
