Re: Scientists hail asthma breakthrough

We all could have saved them a lot of time and money, if only they had asked

us!!!

Previously, severe asthma attacks have been blamed on air pollutants

like dust mites, pollen or animal hair.

But the scientists, based at Manchester's Wythenshawe Hospital,

believe they have found a new culprit.

Their research shows the condition can also be caused by tiny spores

of common airborne fungi, which outnumber pollen grains by almost

1,000 to one and are invisible to the naked eye.

I think that I have read that one of the main molds responsible for severe

asthma is Alternaria.
