The relatively warm but damp Autumn in October this year means trouble for asthma and allergy sufferers.
Conditions are currently favouring the growth of outdoor mould spores (Mildew) such as Cladosporium and Alternaria which can trigger off severe asthma attacks in allergy sufferers. At this time of the year we see rising asthma hospital admissions and chronic asthma may temporarily become more brittle and very difficult to control. If you are Mould Spore allergic, monitor your symptoms, take preventer medication and see your doctor if your asthma becomes worse.
