Adult-Onset Asthma: The Workplace Could Be the Culprit

(continued)

Vital Information:

Of those who experience adult-onset asthma, about 10% of cases are a result of allergens encountered in the workplace, a number much higher than previously realized.
Occupational asthma can develop quickly in patients, or may take several years, making the link to the workplace more difficult.
People who work with biological entities (such as plants, animals, and insects), work in homes, or work with chemicals should be especially suspicious if they develop asthma as an adult.
