NO its not a disease thus its not contages
What do each of these individuals have in common: First, aneighteen-year-old suddenly develops wheezing and shortness of breath whenvisiting his grandmother who happens to have a cat. Second, a thirty year oldwoman has colds that "always go into her chest," causing coughing anddifficulty breathing. Lastly, a sixty- year-old man develops shortness of breathwith only slight exertion even though he has never smoked. The answer is thatthey all may have asthma.
These are some of the many faces of asthma. Most researchers believe that thedifferent patterns of asthma are all related to one condition. Other researchersfeel that separate lung conditions exist. There is currently no cure for asthmaand no single exact cause has been identified. Therefore, understanding thechanges that occur in asthma, how it makes you feel, and how it can behave overtime is vital. This knowledge empowers you to take an active role in your ownhealth care.

Asthma is an allergy and is triggered by something. The best non medication treatment for asthma is learning your triggers and avoiding them. Common triggers are smoke, dust, mold, mildew, plants, dust mites, pets and grass/weeds.
If you can not figure our your triggers, you may need to see an allergist and have allergy screening done. This may point out your triggers.
The National Asthma Prevention Program and the Expert Panel of Diagnosis and Management of Asthma both agree if you have to use a prescription inhaler such as albuterol more then two time per week, your asthma is NOT in control and you will need a prescription controller medication.
Controller medications are steroids (Asthmacort Asthmanex, Flovent, Pulmocort), Leukotriene modifier (Singulair, Aculade, Zyflo) or mast cell stabilizers (Cromolyn sodium, Intal, Tilade).
You may want to talk to your doctor about several strong controller medications and maybe Xolair shots.
If you want a proven, all-natural way to cure your asthma, without having to pay for useless medications with harmful side-effects, then this is the most important page you'll ever read.

Well, ask yourself, if getting asthma (a construction of the bronchial tubes and little alveola) is contagious. Is it the same thing as a virus such as strep throat or a flu? No. It is not contagious. It is just a condition that some people have and it is not caused by a bacteria or virus.

No... absolutely not... asthma is not a virus.. it is IMPOSSIBLE to 'catch' it from somebody... it's classed more as a condition.
If anybody tries to tell you otherwise, they're an idiot!

Can you get acne from kissing someone with acne?
It just makes you FEEL like you can, when you know someone has a condition.
