'Tis the Season For Allergy, Asthma

The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology is offering holiday allergy tips:
The stress of the holiday season can sometimes trigger an asthma attack. Monitor your stress levels. If you do feel stressed, deep breathing and relaxation may
help.

If you're sleeping away from home, bring your own pillow with an allergen-proof cover. Ask for down-free pillows.

Avoid wood smoke, which can trigger an asthma attack.
