April showers bring May flowers — and May flowers and other flora bring their share of allergies. So it’s fitting that May is National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. Numerous resources are available to those who suffer from asthma or allergies, or anyone who wants to learn more about these conditions. Here are a few:
- See a list of the most challenging places to live in the spring if you have seasonal allergies at allergycapitals.com. (Milwaukee comes in at No. 68 this year, for the record.)
- At ditchthedrip.com, three-time Olympic gold medal beach volleyball player Misty May-Treanor helps nasal allergy sufferers get their allergies under control.
- Get the facts on asthma at getsmartaboutasthma.com.
- And take an interesting, informative quiz on skin allergies, courtesy of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
Please feel free to share your experiences with asthma or allergies in the comments, and any advice you have on how to manage these conditions!
