All four of us kids and both parents ended up with asthma.My brother in Florida tore out his bedroom carpet and it helped him so much, that he got rid of all the carpeting in his house. It's a bit drastic, but has gone a long way to improve his COPD (from smoking in the past) and allergy-induced asthma.JoAnn in SoCal------------------------------------
