💡 It’s time for another round of Q&A with Crystal Capler! 💡 Today, Crystal is here to answer a common question about asthma that many people wonder about, especially this time of year.
❓ Q: Why is my asthma worse during summer?
✅ A: Asthma tends to get worse during summer because the season brings a host of triggers such as heat, humidity, and high pollen counts. Hot, humid air and pollen cause asthma flare-ups by causing airway inflammation.
Additionally, the scorching heat causes people to spend more time in the water. Swimming is not inherently harmful, but doing it in a chlorinated pool can set off asthma attacks. Chlorine, a chemical used to disinfect pools, releases fumes that can irritate the airways.
