Nearly 28 million Americans have asthma, including about 4.9 million children, and the disease costs the U.S. over $81 billion a year. Kids miss nearly 8 million school days and adults miss almost 11 million work days annually because of it, with Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous communities carrying the heaviest burden. On top of that, more than 20 million Americans have food allergies, and children with food allergies are 2 to 4 times more likely to also have asthma. This resolution supports designating May 2025 as National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month.
