It’s grass pollen season in Victoria, so you might notice more asthma and hay fever symptoms popping up. This also brings a chance of thunderstorm asthma. It’s a good idea to know what to do if an asthma attack happens, and when asthma first aid might be needed.

Here's a quick guide:
👉Step 1: Sit yourself/the person upright
👉Step 2: Using a blue/grey reliever puffer (and a spacer, if you have one): shake the puffer, put 1 puff into the spacer, take 4 breaths. Repeat 4 times. Remember: Shake, 1 puff, 4 breaths.
👉Step 3: Wait 4 minutes If there is no improvement, take 4 more separate puffs of blue/grey reliever,
👉Step 4: If there is still no improvement, dial triple zero (000) for an ambulance. Take 4 separate puffs every 4 minutes until emergency assistance arrives.

Call triple zero (000) immediately if you can’t breathe, your asthma suddenly becomes worse, or you are having an asthma attack and there’s no blue or grey reliever available.

For more detailed information or if you use other asthma medications such as Bricanyl, Symbicort or others, follow asthma first aid specific for them: https://go.vic.gov.au/3NDJC6N

This National Nutrition Week, we are celebrating the Love What You Eat campaign with a focus on food equity. Food equity means that everyone has access to nourishing, affordable and culturally meaningful food.

There are many factors that can make it challenging to access food. That's why we created the Alpine Food Support Directory; a resource to connect people with local food supports.

What is thunderstorm asthma? Thunderstorm asthma is thought to be triggered by a unique combination of high amounts of grass pollen in the air and a certain type of thunderstorm. For people who have asthma or hay fever this can trigger severe asthma symptoms. Grass pollen grains get swept up in the wind and carried for long distances; some can burst open and release tiny particles that are concentrated in the wind gusts that come just before a thunderstorm. These particles are small enough to be breathed deep into the lungs and can rapidly trigger asthma symptoms, making it difficult to breathe.

If you have current, past or undiagnosed asthma or seasonal hay fever it’s important you know about thunderstorm asthma and how you can protect yourself and your loved ones.

Learn how to prepare for thunderstorm asthma this pollen season: https://go.vic.gov.au/3AbGhbY
