As ı have posted several writings vıa this pretty webside under the light of my 10 year experience on Astma so as to illuminate the other asthma sufferres.
The first suggestion ı have given was to live near or at sea in order to be away like me from asthma (pls see the writing of me under the tıtle of ''The treatment for astma''). The second now ı found recently which is available for everyone suffering.
I have bought a couple of Dust mask from Drug store which is very chip so that everyone can buy. and ı used them while ı am at home. Interestingly for the last 2 months ı did not wheeze or cough whitout using my regular medicine (ventolin inhaler or once air)
Please do try without getting shy from noone in your house for a couple of day. you will see the differance in your health. you can take out when you are goıng outside.
This is for the asthma sufferins being -effected expecially from the bacteria inside their house.
How very interesting, did you get the idea from Michael Jackson? In London I sometimes see people wearing dustmasks going about their business, not just cyclists. I wonder if these people wear them at home too!!
Please can you tell me:
1. What is the brand name of the dust mask?
2. Do you wear it as you sleep too?
Thanks, as you know I am a big fan of your outlandish views about the sea!

Does it beat living at sea?
whyyy did you buy a dust mask?
or do you recommend usage of a dust mask with a trip by the sea? you should patent that..
dont you think going around with a dust mask(which might not work for anyone else) will become a hindrance?
do you miss the fishies?
Are you Borat in disguise??
Bluejam - ROFL a huge amount!!!!! :oD
I dont think I have laughed that much in a long time- my sides actually split- eurgh messy
Be careful because as any dedicated follower of Ugurcan knows laughing causes asthma!
LOL (oops!)

PS Joking aside I love this original thinker
Thank you, ugurcan, for sharing your experience with us. I am glad that you have found something else which appears to help you.
I feel I should point out that the UK Health and Safety Executive has warned against people with asthma using so-called ‘nuisance’ dust masks, also known as comfort masks or hygiene masks, the ones that can be bought very cheaply in DIY or homeware stores. It has suggested that they be withdrawn from sale.
The HSE are concerned that these masks contribute to the development of occupational asthma, as they do not offer adequate protection against common dusts,
welding fumes, asbestos, sand, paint spray, gases, vapours or aerosols as well as many other common airborn irritants and allergens. They certainly do not filter out, and are not intended to filter out, bacteria. Their performance is very variable and does not have to comply with any set health and safety requirements. Many only provide any protection at all for the first few minutes of use. Most are intended for single use only, and can actually give an increased risk of infection if used multiple times.
There are more hard-wearing respirator masks, which are plastic or metal fitted with a HEPA filter, which are effective and approved for filtering out some types of dust and particles. However, these sorts of masks do increase the work of breathing and can impair your ability to oxygenate and remove carbon dioxide from your body. Manufacturers of these sorts of masks always warn (or should always warn) that anyone with a respiratory or heart condition should consult their doctor, and possibly have spirometry tests, before using one. They are really only recommended for use in very specific situations, usually in industrial use such as in factories or on building sites where there is exposure to specific particulates.
There is very little in the medical literature on using dust masks or respirators, but what there is shows no clear evidence of benefit. Of course, many of our members have intrinsic or non-allergic asthma with no clear external trigger, so even a mask that effectively filtered the air would be unlikely to be of any help in improving symptoms.
I would warn anyone to be cautious before spending money and inconveniencing yourself on a treatment which is unlikely to be of help, especially one which is fairly physically intrusive.
