Do asthma attacks happen hours or days after exposure to irritant?

They usually happen within minutes, or immediately, depending on the person's allergic response to the irritant. Rarely they can happen hours after exposure, and never days afterward.

For example, exposure to simple dust or pollen might trigger a minor asthma attack, but exposure to something that can trigger an anaphylactic reaction (e.g., bee sting) will cause an asthma attack almost immediately. That's why it's important to know what your triggers are, and to keep the appropriate meds with you at all times.

Rescue inhalers work well, but not in all cases, such as an anaphylactic allergic reaction. In such cases, an Epi-pen or Twinject pen is desirable, as they're epinephrine injectables for use in emergencies.
