extrinsic asthma.
Patient discussion about extrinsic asthma.

Q. How can I prevent my future Children from Inheriting my Allergies / Allergic Asthma? I have Allergies & Allergic ASTHMA, I have read about Childhood “Allergic MARCH " ... Is there ANYTHING my Husband & I can do before conception to prevent my Children from inheriting this terrible Disease?

A. does your husband have allergy in his family too? Allergies are environmental at least as much as they are genetic. There is the “hygiene hypothesis” that suggest allergies caused by lack of encounters of our immune system and pathogens. For example- There is a new experimental treatment that they insert a harmless parasite into your body and cause your immune system to react and “shift” it from one type of reaction to another.
