One thing that my daughter hates is the onset of winter due to the varying temperatures, plus the smog that appears in many areas due to people having log fires and the inevitable viruses that people catch. These people invariably spread their germs due to bad management of their symptoms plus many people seem to have an inability to cough and sneeze into tissues and then dispose of them correctly and then disinfect their hands.
Does this Sound familiar??
Harsh words you may say, sorry if you think that, but we have to “Call a spade a spade”!
It is an indisputable fact that as winter arrives so do the cold and flu and with this the number of people dropping like flies due to catching the virus. For Asthma sufferers and those with suppressed immune systems or any chronic condition it can spell disaster.
For the Asthma sufferer even a simple cold virus can trigger a major asthma event let alone catching the ‘flu. Hospitals report that in autumn (fall) and winter the number of hospital admissions or those seeking help in the emergency departments increase dramatically.
