#Cause of Asthma
No single cause has been identified for asthma. Instead, researchers believe that the breathing condition is caused by a variety of factors. These factors include:
1. Genetics. If a parent has asthma, you’re more likely to develop it.
2. History of viral infections. People with a history of viral infections during childhood are more likely to develop the condition.
3. Hygiene hypothesis. This hypothesis proposes that babies aren’t exposed to enough bacteria in their early months and years. Therefore, their immune systems don’t become strong enough to fight off asthma and other conditions.
4. Early allergen exposure. Frequent contact with possible allergens and irritants may increase your risk for developing asthma.
