Every breath matters. That’s why each May, America’s Best Care Plus joins healthcare organizations nationwide in recognizing National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month – a time dedicated to education, advocacy, and support for the millions of Americans navigating these chronic conditions.
The Latest Landscape: Asthma and Allergies in 2025
Nearly 25 million Americans live with asthma, including 4.2 million children. Meanwhile, more than 50 million Americans experience various allergies annually, making allergies the sixth leading cause of chronic illness in the United States.
Recent research has revealed several noteworthy developments:
- Biologics breakthrough: New targeted biologic therapies have shown remarkable success for severe, persistent asthma cases. These treatments, which target specific inflammatory pathways, have reduced exacerbations by up to 70% in eligible patients according to 2023 studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
- Climate connection: Research from 2022-2024 has established stronger links between climate change and increasing allergy severity. Rising temperatures have extended pollen seasons by up to 20 days in some regions, while higher CO2 levels have increased pollen potency.
- Microbiome influence: Fascinating new studies have strengthened the connection between gut microbiome health and allergy/asthma development. Early childhood exposure to diverse microbes continues to show protective effects against developing these conditions later in life.
- Digital management: Telemedicine and digital health monitoring tools have revolutionized asthma management since 2022. Smart inhalers that track usage patterns and environmental triggers can now predict exacerbations up to 48 hours before symptoms appear.
- Food allergy updates: The 2023 guidelines from the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology expanded early introduction recommendations for potentially allergenic foods, showing up to a 40% reduction in severe food allergy development.
