WHAT IS ASTHMA?
Asthma is a chronic breathing disorder affecting both children and adults.
It is characterized by:
• Asthma symptoms can include cough, severe shortness of breath,
chest tightness and wheeze and usually occur after exposure toe
allergens, viral infections and exercise, or exposure to irritants such as
fumes and cigarette smoke.
• Exposure can cause inflammation of the airway wall and abnormal
narrowing of the airways, which may lead to asthma symptoms
• An asthma attack can be frightening with feelings of suffocation,
breathlessness and loss of control and can be potentially life threatening
• Asthma can develop at any age, but is common in childhood.

When June was asked how old she
was she replied, "Too old to be
leading 4-H."
