Better Understanding Saves Lives

The easier it is to recognize the dangers, symptoms, and rescue protocol surrounding asthma, the more likely sufferers can spot and treat the danger early. This is especially helpful when children are at risk: since childhood asthma emergencies can quickly escalate into life-threatening events, it’s important for adults to know what to do at the first sign of trouble.

But the same goes for any person of any age — when strangers and bystanders know how best to react to a breathing emergency, an asthmatic is much less likely to suffer dire consequences. People helping people makes for a healthier and happier community.
