When the hot break comes to an end parents & carers of children with asthma need to be aware of ⚡️Thunderstorm Asthma ⚡️ www.healthforkids.co.uk/leicestershi... Most importantly know your inhalers; remember to use a spacer and be aware you can take up to 10 puffs

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...
