Hand bands are being introduced to help the public identify asthmatics during an attack.
Breathe Easy Isle of Man says the £1 bands will help people make a diagnosis when a “life threatening” situation occurs.
Viv Osland is from the charity - she says it’s a small price to pay for the public to know how to deal with the situation if it arises:
