3.  You don't roll around in the dirt anymore:  Well, it's true.  When we're kids, we tend to play outside with our friends, and we're more likely to be exposed to our asthma triggers, like dusts, molds, etc.  As we grow up we move away from the ground, per se. We don't roll around in the wood chips and dust under swing sets and porches.

2. Your Lungs become less sensitive as you age:  So you're now able to sit in the hay shed without your asthma acting up.  Chances are it's because as you grew older your airways became less sentitive to your old asthma triggers.

1.  Your lungs get bigger as you age:  William E. Berger in Asthma for Dummies, writes, "As children grow, their lungs and airways become larger.  If the amount of airway obstruction stays the same, the blockage may proportionally constitute a smaller part of the total airway diameter, thus resulting in fewer symptoms as an adult.

It is very important that if your asthma is in remission (if you want to use that word), that you never forget that you still do have asthma.  The reason is simple:  if you forget you have asthma, your symptoms may come back. 

So be smart, stay wise to asthma facts by continuing to hang out with us on this site, and you'll continue to maintain good control of your asthma.  With time, your asthma may also appear to be gone! Gone! GONE!!!
