Those who are overweight are more likely to have asthma but many physically fit person are also afflicted with this.However,Asthma isn't contagious.
Asthma patients are strictly advised to avoid dust and smoke. chalk dust or smoke, can trigger asthma because they pollute the airways.
Smoking is also a major cause of asthma symptoms, and it just not harm the smoker.Many people who never smoke were affected with this due to passive smoking.

Dealing with asthma is so important as long as it could be so dangerous and life threatening.Medications are important, but the first line in the treatment is to avoid the factors that cause asthma attacks. |
Punky2519 Posted 12.11.09 | Asthmas is often coupled with other allergies or conditions as well, such as food allergies or eczema. It is a condition where both genetics and environmental factors play a part. If you have been diagnosed with asthma, it is important to always carry a rescue inhaler, because the next asthma attack could often be extremely severe or life-threatening, even if previous attacks in the past haven't been. |
miles Posted 12.14.09 | I believe many things can cause asthma from being around dust smoke and other things of that nature. I also believe you are more likely to get asthma if someone in your family has it. A combination of those things have the greatest chances of it happening to you. |
plower Posted 12.14.09 | From personal experience, asthma can be caused by a combination of things.They include genetic factors (family members have it), environmental (like my father smoking and our cats when I was child) and activity factors (my asthma is more likely to kick up when I've been doing vigorous exercise like playing basketball). Overall, there is no good way beyond genetics to say what can trigger asthma |
MaryClare Posted 12.30.09 | As a child, I never had allergies or asthma until after I received a set of vaccines in 1st grade. Within a short time afterwards, I developed an allergy to eggs and animals and we could not own a pet anymore after our dog died. Back in the '60's, there weren't a lot of alternatives to choose from. I started allergy shots for eggs, animal dander, dairy, wheat, chocolate, nuts, dust, mold, pollen, grass, etc. I am still sensitive to these items even after working on myself since '82. I eat organically, do no vaccines of any kind, use organic essential oils, herbs, exercise, don't smoke, drink, do drugs, etc. I also get regular chiropractic and acupuncture treatments, massage, etc.
After conducting vaccine research for the past 28 yrs., I have come to realize that most allergies and asthma go hand in hand and are often caused by vaccinosis (vaccine poisoning). The estimate is now 1 in 9 children who have asthma. Candida and parasites are underlying causes as well and until one cleans up their diet by eliminating dairy, sugar, and gluten, they will continue to have symptoms of a compromised immune system. |
