Dr. H. Salter in 1864 got this knowledge that animal dander could spark off asthma in patients. In addition to this, during that decade, there were many more types of research carried out that indicated the link of asthma with allergens. However, doctors were in a type of confusion regarding the connection of asthma with genetic issues or with environmental allergens.
In 1900, a few more developments took place by relating asthma with hay fever and psychosomatic disorder. But the actual research was conducted after many years that indicated the physical reasons to be responsible for the problem, and not the brain.
