Could I buy a nano hive for it and not implant it? |

Are we talking about chronic asthma or allergic asthma here?
I have allergic asthma myself (cats, horses + animal fur in general, house dust mites) although even staying at my grandpa's house (pretty dusty and a cat) for a few hours or a day doesn't make me suffocate it really impedes my constitution of that day and the day after. Then breathing really isn't fun anymore and I feel like shit. I guess by 2070 there'd also be some sort of implanted air filter that keeps every allergen and every pollution particle out of the lungs. But that would probably also limit lung volume or the ability to deal with peak strain during sprints etc. I just don't remember seeing something like that in any of the rule books I've skimmed through. |

I have installed an airtank in my suit, how much would it cost to get an albuterol solution inserted into the output line? |

I've heard of that research. It isn't being clincally tested, but some people swear by it - small numbers of intestinal parasites, enough to force the body to properly process allergens (somehow, but not death) and not enough that they have a negative effect on the body. |
