Climate change is making outdoors challenging for people with asthma
Khyana Brown said she hasn’t had an asthma attack in over a decade, something she attributes to her weight loss.
“I’m trying to get off my medicine,” Brown said. “I don’t want to always be on albuterol for the rest of my life. So, I’m trying to get off that where it’s possible.”
She recalls a childhood spent in and out of the hospital due to asthma attacks, summers at an asthma-centered camp, and nights connected to a CPAP machine. But, Brown said, making healthier choices has helped manage her chronic lung condition.
“I just want to be normal,” Brown said.
However, sticking to a workout routine can challenging when extreme heat rolls in, she said.
“I could work out in this (the cool weather) and be all right. My asthma will not bother me,” she said. “But if it’s hot, ain’t no working out.”

Dr. Katrina Korfmacher, deputy director of UR Medicine’s environmental health sciences, said climate change is making outdoors particularly uncomfortable for people who deal with allergies and asthma.

Same old same old. What do they think happens during a typical Holocene warm period? And, maybe, lose all that extra weight. I was going to drop the photo from the article about that, but, I really do not want to be that kind of ahole. At least today.
