misc.kids FAQ on Allergies and Asthma (part 4/4)
Archive-name: misc-kids/allergy+asthma/part4
Posting-Frequency: monthly Last-Modified: 1998/10/06 Version: 1.5 -------------------------------------------------- This FAQ is also available on the World Wide Web at http://www.cs.unc.edu/~kupstas/FAQ.html -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- Misc.kids Frequently Asked Questions -- Allergies and Asthma Resources Revision 1.5 This FAQ is intended to answer frequently asked questions on allergies and asthma in the misc.kids newsgroup. Though the comments are geared towards parents of children, there is plenty of information for adults as well. The information in this FAQ is the collected "net wisdom" of a number of folk. It is not intended to replace medical advice. None of the contributors are medical professionals. Most of us either have allergies/asthma or have relatives/children with asthma/allergies, so this collection represents the experiences and prejudices of individuals. This is not a substitute for consulting your physician. To contribute to this collection, please send e-mail to the address given below, and ask me to add your comments to the FAQ file on Allergies and Asthma. Please try to be as concise as possible, as these FAQ files tend to be quite long as it is. And, unless otherwise requested, your name and e-mail address will remain in the file, so that interested readers may follow-up directly for more information/discussion. This FAQ is posted regularly to news.answers and misc.kids.info. For a list of other misc.kids FAQ topics, look for the FAQ File Index posted to misc.kids.info or tune in to misc.kids.
