@patiencespeir Welcome to Connect. You are so right about creating a safe home space reducing triggers.

I also stay inside during times where the outside air is unhealthy. There have been so many wildfires in the western US and Canada that have affected air quality over the entire US that changes with the wind patterns.

Does that situation make your asthma worse even with minimal exposure?

The wildfire smoke over central Ontario combined with me underperceiving my episode, then covid again has resulted in an acute exacerbation I am still working on coming out of.
The main game changer was the wildfire smoke. Even when the sun wasn't red in the sky my lungs became so hyper reactive to any particulates

I live in an area where there is still a lot of construction of homes and communities.

One thing that drives our communities crazy is the burning of debris by developers. It saturates the air and makes going outside impossible. Complaining to County does no good as they say contact State as they issue the burn permits.

Another county prohibits burning of debris. With so many allergy sufferies, Asthma, COPD, bronchitis, that this would be common sense to not pollute the air.
