Jeremy Schmeltzer said he thought he was going to die on April 6 when he suffered a severe asthma attack while cleaning a guinea pig cage. The dander and dust aggravated his asthma and he was having a hard time breathing. When the attack hit, he tried his asthma inhaler. When that didn’t work, he tried his nebulizer. When that didn’t work, he called 9-1-1.
“That was probably the slowest time ever,” the 22-year-old Schmeltzer said. “I remember trying to unlock my phone, but I was so frantic and shaking that I couldn’t.”
