About:
A shocking 1 in 13 persons in the United States has asthma.
Asthma is a lung illness that, if left untreated, can severely impair a person's ability to participate in even the most basic of daily activities. Inflammation in the airways, brought on by this chronic respiratory condition, reduces the available air for breathing. In this way, those with asthma, in contrast to those without this respiratory ailment, have a more difficult time taking in oxygen via their airways.
