Change in Airway Responsiveness After Allergen Exposure

Summary

Exposure to allergens changes the way the airway responds to some stimuli (methacholine). The investigators will look at whether or not exposure to allergens changes the way the airway responds to a different stimuli (mannitol) and compare that with the known stimuli (methacholine).
