March is here and so is the return of warmer weather, spring allergies and asthma triggers. Most of us look forward to the higher temperatures, the trees leafing out, grass greening up and flowers budding. However, people with allergies and asthma often struggle this time of year with environmental triggers from pollen, trees, and grass.  

Quick tips from the Indiana Joint Asthma Coalition (InJAC) 

• Visit your healthcare provider to make sure you have prescriptions filled and ready to go. 
• Read about Tips for Managing your Asthma (a free, sharable flip book with an asthma action plan). 
• Check out the pollen.com app for your Android or iPhone. You can easily get personalized pollen counts for your zip code. 
• Be prepared-this helps to minimize symptoms and eliminate sneezing and wheezing.
