“Since 1984, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) has designated May to be National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. It’s a time to focus on respiratory and immune health.

AAFA emphasizes it is critical to ensure people with asthma and allergic conditions can access essential life-saving medicines that (1) treat the underlying disease and (2) stop symptoms.

Asthma, allergies, atopic dermatitis, and other related allergic conditions cause significant distress and emotional, social, and financial burden on the people with these conditions. In the United States, there are about 4,000 deaths per year due to asthma and allergies. Most of these deaths are preventable.”
