FUN at Wisconsin State Fair

With so many well-known Wisconsin events happening, it is important to put careful planning into these events if you or someone in your family suffers from asthma and/or allergies.  These events can bring out the worst in your symptoms because of the triggers that are often associated: pollen, dust, pet dander, smoke, exercise and much more.

In particular, the Wisconsin State Fair is right around the corner (August 4-14), and there are tons of fun things planned.  Whether you are going to see your favorite band, to shop, to eat or for the animals, it gets tough when you have to worry about asthma and allergies.  We want to share some tips and tricks to deal with your asthma and allergies so that you and your family don't have to miss out.

1. Don't forget, asthma and allergy medications!

2. Avoid touching the animals - wash hands immediately if you do (If symptoms are severe, avoid going into the animal barns).

3. Do your research - if you plan to eat at Wisconsin State Fair look here for a list of all of the food options.

4. Keep weather, pollen counts and air quality in mind when heading out.
