A medical Doctor at St Joseph Hospital at Kasoa in the Central region Joseph Somuah harmattan air is the cause of many breathing issues, among others that have become rampant in Hospital and various homes all because we seek to take seasonal precautions for granted. 

Adom news in an interview with Dr. Somoah this morning, disclosed that the harmattan’s dusty air is blown from deserts right toward us and thus full of virus, so inhaling the dust into our immune system causes us more harm than we perceive. He explained that cold, cough’s, throat infections, measles, asthma, headaches, eye and ear infections are some of the most rampant issues attended to in hospitals this harmattan season which is caused by viruses living in the dusty atmosphere.
