Asthma is an issue
Wagga Wagga and district is prone to spring-time thunderstorm-triggered asthma associated with elevated levels of airborne grass-pollens in conjunction with pending thunderstorm activity.
If prone to asthma events, it is important that:
- you keep indoors where possible
- appropriate preventer medications are taken as prescribed
- reliever medication is immediately available at all times
