I was doing a bit of research into adult onset asthma. It is acknowledged that all around the world, rates of asthma across all ages are increasing. I read one statistic that said between 1980 and 1995, asthma deaths approximately doubled in each age range in the USA. One alarming statistic from Albuquerque New Mexico - five years ago 6-8% children were diagnosed with asthma - today it's 70%.
Generally it is not known why the rates are increasing so dramatically. Some people think that a recent change in the criteria upon which the asthma diagnosis is made could account for such an increase, or at least contribute to it.
I came across the mention of a condition I had never heard before, but that I suspect could possibly relate in some way to the increased asthma rates in certain parts of the world, particularly those who experience high level chemtrail aerosol activity.
The condition is known asRADS (Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome). It is identical to asthma, but is induced by chemical exposure. Individuals with RADS have difficulty breathing, continuing cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath. In all cases the condition occurs after only one exposure to a lung irritant and respiratory symptoms occur within twenty-four hours after exposure. Although many patients resolve within six months, some continue to be symptomatic for five years.
This condition is particularly noticed in individuals who, in the course of their jobs, may suffer casual or accidental exposure to chemical irritants, fumes, gases or smoke. Consequently, it is also referred to as 'occupational asthma'.
Predisposition to asthma, asthmatic symptoms in remission simply aggravated by an irritant are not considered to be factors in the diagnosis. It is generally known that in areas and on days where chemtrail spraying is occurring, hospitals and doctors' surgeries experience a dramatic increase in patients presenting with upper respiratory and asthmatic type symptoms.
What I am thinking or wondering is 'what if a substantial proportion of asthma cases in heavily targeted areas (or maybe not even 'heavily targeted', just targeted areas), are not asthma, but RADS, due to exposure to chemical irritants?' Because the chemtrail issue is not publicly acknowledged and thus, the harmful affects are not given credence, doctors would naturally assume that a case with all the hallmarks of asthma, must be asthma, when there is no reason to suspect exposure to chemical irritants.
The Albuquerque statistic is a particularly interesting one, because New Mexico and particularly the Albuquerque region, is known to be heavily bombarded by chemtrail activity.

I'm not at all surprised to read this Melody!
I have noticed a friend of mine has had increasing attacks of asthma, or upper respiratory infections in the past 18 months.
I have to acknowledge that unfortunantely, she does smoke - which doesn't help her - however, each time she's had an 'Upper Respiratory Infection" I've been able to link it to increased trail activity here.
Frequently at the same time, I've had increased fatigue and nausea with sudden onset!
