Another consideration is the humidity level in the home, which can be measured using a hygrometer. A dry atmosphere has health concerns and it is a humidifier that is used to add moisture to the air in the home. A humidifier can be either for the whole house or a small humidifier ideal for a room.

My belief is asthma is alelergy of lungs. Same allergies in other parts of the body are named differently. eg. allergic conjunctivitis, rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, tracheitis. I also belief that the allergies in muscles causes myalgia, in joints causes arthralgias and arthritis. Skin eczzema is also somehow related to it. All of these can, should happen in the same person, may be at different times, usually unpredictable for time of onset and severity. Genetic factors are definitly related, but sometimes no family history is found. May be its incidence is increasing Shahida, Bangladesh

In early 2009 KarmelSonix Pty Ltd an Australian company of which I am a Director will be releasing the Personal Wheezometer - a hand held device the size of a mobile phone. The Wheezometer will revolutionise the home monitoring and management of asthma by providing a device for use at home, or at the workplace, or at the sporting club to accurately and personally assess the state of the asthma by measuring the wheeze rate - number of wheezes per minute - using very highly sensitive sensors embedded in the unit.
