Reply to comment by Bama_Peach in TIL: Asthmador was an asthma treatment in the US in the 1950s. It was made up of 3 toxic/hallucinogenic compounds belladonna (atropine), stramonium (nightshade/jimson weed), and potassium perchlorate (oxidant commonly used in fireworks). One common delivery method for Asthmador - cigarettes! by Geek_Nan
I’m 40 and even some of the advice in the 80s was goofy. I had really bad allergy induced asthma as a kid. I had an albuterol inhaler but my doctor told my parents to not let me use it often and that I should tough it out and play the trumpet to strengthen my lungs. Now I hear from doctors that not treating an attack can lead to scar tissue in your lungs and that you should take your rescue inhaler whenever you need it. I just cringe wondering what my poor lungs might look like

Yeah I’m not saying government employees should have TikTok on their phones; but we’re talking about South Dakota lol. This is more about the goofy governor trying to score some points by pretending to do something important. This is the same woman that gave trump a mini Mount Rushmore statue with his head added.
