| Fireworks Can Trigger Asthma Attacks. |

It's common the hear oohs and aahs from viewers at community fireworks displays.
But there's a less common reaction to coughs. People with asthma often find fireworks
can trigger an attack. In an interview with Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles, one
Columbus area allergist says fireworks can be downright dangerous. Dr. Don McNeal
says even smaller fireworks like sparklers can bring on an asthma attack. McNeal
says hot, humid weather in general can cause problems for people with allergies
and asthma. He points out ozone is often high so is pollution. And McNeal says
those two things often trigger asthma attacks too. |
