When Deseree Fontenot was diagnosed with asthma, she never considered what caused it. As a teenager, the struggle to breathe prevented her from participating in any recreational activities where she would get winded easily. Her mom was affected by the condition as well. It wasn’t until much later in life, when Fontenot was in college, that she drew a connection between the pulmonary condition that inflamed and narrowed her and her mother’s airways and where they lived in Los Angeles.
