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.
