Happy Fourth of July from the Chicago Asthma Consortium! 🎆

As we celebrate Independence Day with family, friends, and community, we wish everyone a safe and enjoyable holiday.

If your plans include fireworks, remember that smoke can be a trigger for people with asthma. Consider viewing fireworks from a distance, keeping rescue medications nearby, and moving indoors if symptoms develop.

Have a fun, safe, and healthy Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙
