Rats! There are lots of rats in the city! lol
Remember that city kids are also exposed to perfume, pets and stress...Probably more than the kids living in the country. When I lived in NY I wouldnt leave the house without a little perfume on my wrist. Now, I just wear perfume when I am going shopping at the mall or out for dinner, etc.. Pets, People in NY keep pets inside for the most part! People in the south keep thier animals outside. What is very interesting is that not enough Co2 causes the symptoms of an asthma attack, Yet too much C02 triggers it! Researchers say that atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) may be a main culprit. Recent studies identified CO2 levels in large U.S. cities including Phoenix and Baltimore, Md., that are at times up to 60% higher than in rural areas. Burning fossil fuel -- coal, oil and natural gases -- is the greatest contributor to the continuing increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. http://www.webmd.com/asthma/news/20040429/high-carbon-dioxide-levels-may-up-asthma-rate Seriously, Too much C02 triggers asthma attacks.
