Mid-September is Peak Week for asthma and allergy sufferers; the name comes from the high levels of allergens in the air combined with back-to-school seasonal illnesses. Connections IN Health and the Indiana Joint Asthma Coalition have created resources on how to handle peak week in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole.
