Facebook Jealousy Could Spark Asthma Attacks

Italian doctors warn that Facebook could trigger an asthma attack in some susceptible users.

According to the Associated Press, Dr. Gennaro D'Amato and colleagues treated an 18-year-old man whose asthma attacks were apparently sparked by logging into Facebook and seeing how many men his ex-girlfriend had “friended.” However, a psychologist at Goldsmiths University in London claims doctors should not be advising anxious asthmatics to avoid social networking.
