American Sign Language: "asthma"

---

I've done quite a bit of surveying on this sign. It is pretty much divided 4 ways.

1. Literally one out of four people surveyed couldn't think of a sign off the top of their heads. Then after thinking about it for a moment many of them did one of the following versions:
2. Do a version of "lungs" using curved-5 hands.
3. Do the sign for "breathe."

4. Do the sign "BREATHE" but use "A" hands.
