Incense Sense

If you’ve got someone in your house with asthma – skip the incense.

Burning incense can be very relaxing – unless you’ve got asthma. Odors like perfume, air freshener and cleaning products can trigger attacks for someone with asthma – and research says we can now add incense to the list. In a new study, burning incense increased asthma diagnosis in some kids by 36% - and wheezing while exercising for kids whose parents burned incense was 60% more likely.
