Gypsy,

Warm temperatures and high humidity are not good for asthma sufferers. A 50% humidity or less environment with cooler temperatures are optimal for most.

IMHO you got by without using your ICS inhaler for a few days due to the residual effect of the medication you are using and also possibly due to not coming in contact with one of your "triggers" during that particular time frame.

I learned a neat trick the other day from a lady Physician I call on. Her daughter is an asthma patient. When her daughter goes for a run, she braids her albuterol inhaler in her ponytail so she doesn't have to hold on to it while she runs. It's there if she needs it. Neat trick.
