However, I believe it belongs in the same file as alligators in our sewers. Dr. Larry Chiaramonte has a wise post on it at AsthmaAllergiesChildren.com. He points out that if the kid’s asthma were well-controlled, jealousy over his old girlfriend’s popularity wouldn’t be sufficient to trigger an attack. He advises the parents to make sure he takes his meds and stay away from girls until he grows up a bit.
