Is asthma a contagious disease

Answer 1

The answer to this question can be debated. Some people say no, some say yes. However, it is an infectious disease due to the fact that the respiratory viruses which cause Asthma can spread among people - and unfortunately, can also inflict many victims, not just one. TH2 lymphocytes and eosinophil cells and others are the cells responsible for allergic reactions from asthma. There is also the variable of air pollution and quality - several people could breathe the same air with a victim of asthma, and get this disease, too. However, the reason why many people say asthma isn't infectious is because you may be in the air breathed by an asthma patient, and still not get asthma, or its related symptoms because of strong lungs and a very good immune system.

Answer 2

No.

Skin asthma is also known as atopic dermatitis or eczema. It is a non-contagious, common chronic skin disorder of long duration. Atopic is another word for allergy like asthma and hay fever. Dermatitis means skin inflammation. The main feature of atopic dermatitis is itchy skin usually causing the affected person to scratch which further increases the itchiness. This leads to a vicious cycle of increased itchiness and vigorous scratching, complicating the condition.

Answer 3

Yes it is a non-communicable disease because you are born with it, or it is genetic. It is an immune system disorder.

*A non-communicable disease is something that can not be spread like a germ. (If someone with a cold sneezes on someone, they will get infected vs. someone with Allergies sneezes on someone.)
