Avoiding Asthma Triggers

Dr. Rodney Benjamin, Critical Care and Pulmonary Medicine Physician with South Miami Hospital, says the most logical thing to do to avoid asthma is improving the environment. "Rather than giving medicines and getting into all the complex things, the simplest thing is keeping humidity low in your house, getting rid of pets that make you ease, not going outside when there are dust storms, and not breathing smoke in the environment," he recommends.
