One stormy November night in 2016, a horror story unfolded across Melbourne.
There was a 681% increase in asthma-related hospital admissions, and 10 people died. Some of them had never experienced asthma symptoms prior to the storm.
This event is the most severe recorded case of a phenomenon known as epidemic thunderstorm asthma.
I never heard of it and pretty weird I thought. It may occur elsewhere too.
