Remember that when you travel, your asthma must be well controlled
prior to your departure. It is a good idea to carry extra medication
as well as copies of all your prescriptions with you.
Whether you are going to the cottage, the mountains
or to Cairo, you should plan ahead to deal with dust, dust mites,
moulds, changes in humidity and temperature, as well as local allergens
and triggers. Many of our travel destinations have indoor and outdoor
air pollution problems (such as cigarette smoke in public places).
Preplanning your air travel and accommodations can help you avoid
or diminish the impact of these triggers.
Perhaps you are going to stay home and go to the
recreation centre to get into shape. The same rules apply here as
in your home. Try to avoid the use of scented personal products,
encourage a windows-closed policy and the use of air conditioning
and or dehumidifiers to help regulate the humidity levels.
