...COTTON...

Cotton is a soft fiber that grows around the seeds of the cotton plant (Gossypium spp.), a shrub native to the Indian subcontinent and the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and the Americas.



The fiber is most often spun into thread and used to make a soft, breathable textile, which is the most widely used natural-fiber cloth in clothing today.



The English name derives from the Arabic word al qutun, meaning "cotton fiber". (The Spanish word algodón has the same etymology.) Africa and South America are large providers of cotton.


Cotton fiber, once it has been processed to remove seeds and traces of wax, protein, etc., consists of nearly pure cellulose, a natural polymer.


Cotton production is very efficient, in the sense that ten percent or less of the weight is lost in subsequent processing to convert the raw cotton bolls (seed cases) into pure fiber.


The cellulose is arranged in a way that gives cotton fibers a high degree of strength, durability, and absorbency.


Each fibre is made up of twenty to thirty layers of cellulose coiled in a neat series of natural springs.


When the cotton boll is opened, the fibres dry into flat, twisted, ribbon-like shapes and become kinked together and interlocked.


This interlocked form is ideal for spinning into a fine yarn.

...ASTHMA...

Asthma is a chronic disease of the respiratory system in which the airway occasionally constricts, becomes inflamed, and is lined with excessive amounts of mucus, often in response to one or more triggers.


These episodes may be triggered by such things as exposure to an environmental stimulant (or allergen), cold air, exercise or exertion, or emotional stress.


]In children, the most common triggers are viral illnesses such as those that cause the common cold.


[1] This airway narrowing causes symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, which respond to bronchodilators.


Between episodes, most patients feel mostly ok but can have a slight problem feeling out of breath for longer periods of time.
