For 36 years, May has been declared “National Asthma & Allergy Awareness Month” from the Allergy & Asthma Foundation of America (AAFA). This month is extremely important, as it educates people about the importance of identifying and treating allergy and asthma issues.
Let’s take a look at statistics from the AAFA:
- About 25 million Americans have asthma
- About 32 million Americans have food allergies
- About 21 million Americans have hay fever, rhinitis, or nasal allergies
Those numbers alone represent 78 million Americans!
