    So there's a 14,000 acre ((if not more at this point)) fire nearby. My college is very very close to the fire. I had ashes falling on me when I was out at the college. I have a history as asthma and I've gotten to the point where I can barley breathe. I do not have anything to treat myself because it has been so long since I have had an asthma attack and the medicine went bad so I had to throw it away.

    I do not have a primary care doctor...

    What should I do?

    You should call a doctor and get their advice for this problem! I believe MedXpress or any type of walk in clinic has a number you can call. It could be dangerous, especially if you're alone! :frowning2:

    For now I'd suggest staying indoors in a well ventilated area until you figure out what exactly you need to do!

    Can you stay away from college until the fire subsides or they get it under control?
