“Taming Asthma and Allergy by Controlling Your Environment, A Guide for Patients, Second Edition”
Robert A. Wood M.D.

“The definitive book on environmental control”

This is the first book for general readers that combines the latest medical findings with a practical, common-sense approach to the new techniques of allergen avoidance or “environmental control.” Johns Hopkins allergy expert, Robert A. Wood, M.D., shows what you can do today – at home, in school, or at the office – to avoid the cause of asthma and allergy before they trigger an attack.

This book also includes a unique and comprehensive list of one hundred steps to effective environmental control which can prevent – at little or no cost – an expensive course of medical treatment, a hospital stay, or a visit to the emergency room. If allergens in the environment are controlling your life, this book will put you back in charge.

Dr. Wood is Director of the Pediatric Allergy Clinic at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
