That sounds about right...though whether the asthma increase is caused by
"environmental issues (and crap that is in our foods)" or due to the fact
that children are being kept too clean and safe[1] is still unknown.
There is also the fact that anyone who has suffered from even mild asthma as
a child is still considered to be asthmatic for the rest of their life...you
don't grow out of it, it just goes dormant.
