I have to get some masks. The cold, wind, pollen, and humidity bother my asthma.

Hi everyone,

How are you today? Have you seen this older discussion?

What are some myths or common misunderstandings that exist about asthma? Have you experienced any in your daily life? Do you think there needs to be more awareness about asthma among the general public?
