Having turned blue many times due to Asthma as a child and nearly dying more times than I can count (Pre-inhaler days, had to get Adrenalin shot at hospital)...this is ridiculous.

I have an idea...everyone who has a problem with this kid sharing his inhaler should have a rag held over his/her mouth so he only gets about 10% of Oxygen they need.

After they agree that it is distressing beyond belief, they'll drop this nonsense. I know the panic, I know how helplessness you feel, I know it that even typing this brings images of my past. These ***kwits don't have a clue as to what it's like to drown in your own lungs in a classroom and have people scratch their heads.

This is complete idiocy.

I had one bad summer a few years ago. (Construction work on the building I was living in overseas stirred up something that I reacted to.) It's the only time in my life I've ever suffered from asthma and it was the worst 2-month hell I've ever been through. I had two different inhalers and three different oral medications and still almost passed out a few times. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Oxygen isn't important until you don't have any.

I've been there myself. And you descibe it perfectly. This $hit pisses me off. I can't believe this happened in the USA. Save a life-GO TO JAIL.
