This resolution recognizes May 2025 as "National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month" while highlighting significant health statistics related to asthma and allergies in the United States. The resolution points out that nearly 28 million Americans have asthma, including 4.9 million children, and that the condition leads to substantial economic and personal impacts, such as over 7.9 million school days and 10.9 million work days lost in 2018. The resolution also notes that asthma disproportionately affects Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous populations, and that over 3,500 Americans died from the condition in 2021. Additionally, it emphasizes that 20.3 million Americans have food allergies, with 4.3 million of those being children, and that food allergies have increased significantly over the past 20 years. By recognizing this awareness month, the House of Representatives aims to draw attention to these health challenges and encourage the American people to participate in ceremonies and activities that promote understanding of asthma and allergies.
