Occupational asthma | asthma cause
It is also seen that people over the duration of time develop asthma due to getting exposed to such potential asthma allergens. These potential asthma allergens are like dust mites, inhaling gases, fumes etc. Some people say that they experience some uneasiness at workplace and the situation improves when out of workplace, this is because the potential allergens didn’t get in contact with the body outside workplace. And if the person is already having asthma then his health situation may even get worse if such substances come in contact with the body.
Asthma Cause
- Direct irritants: Strong pungent smell or even fumes irritates the immune system. The person starts wheezing so it is called irritant reaction and not allergic reaction.
- Long term exposure to asthma allergens: If allergens are coming in touch with the body regularly then slowly that allergen weakens the immune system. The immune system develops allergic antibody, after few years of exposure to such allergens.
- Accumulation of chemicals naturally released by white blood cells.
If the exposure is not too long then there is a fair possibility of getting asthma cleaned from the body. And if the allergen exposure is too long then even if change in workplace or job will not help. So always be alert, and if you find any symptoms of asthma or breathing problem contact your medical consultant and take corrective action. Asthma prevention can also be taken by wearing mask and covering nose from such fumes. If you already have asthma then avoid going to places where there are fumes coming out, gases, dust mites, cotton furs etc.
