Asthma disproportionately affects children of African
ancestry. Is it a poverty issue, a genetic issue, both? Articles have

the middle of the night, you really don't care.
What can you do
to lessen the frequency of asthma attacks? Keep your house obsessively
clean. no dust, no curtains, no carpets, books behind glass, get rid of
anything that will attract cockroaches.
