"Newswise — Researchers Dr. Steven E. Schutzer of UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School and Dr. Claire M. Fraser-Liggett of the Institute for Genome Sciences, University of Maryland, and their collaborators have made a major achievement toward better understanding Lyme disease, by determining the complete genetic structures of 13 strains of the bacteria that cause the disease."

Hi Simela,

I'm taking Singulair for Asthma (mine is cough-variant, so I don't wheeze as much as cough when I have Asthma). I get Asthma in the Autumn, after colds/flu, from exercise, and also at night when I try to lay down for sleep. But since taking the Singulair, so far I have not had an Asthma attack....keeping my fingers crossed, though, because October is usually the month that I get more attacks than any other time of year...

I think it is worth a try for your Son. It is not a steroid (like some of the inhalers or Prednisone), and only blocks one tiny piece of the immune system (Leukotriene B4, if I remember right), so it is pretty benign. My Husband's been on it for a couple years now and it is helpful for keeping his Asthma under control as well...

Take care,
