I understand it is just anecdotal "evidence" but going back to my mom's mom's parents, my mom, her sister and brother all grew up with those open flame heaters in the house. All un-vented except into the house. None of them had asthma at all. Grandma and grandpa were non smokers as well, heck they did not cuss or drink either. 7 grandkids, and many great grandkkids visited and spent lots of time there. non developed asthma.

My brother did have a bout with asthma, when we were living in Hawaii. No heaters of any sort, so it was not the gas heaters for sure. He grew out of it by the time we moved to San Marcos, TX. Totally anecdotal, not proof, just what I experienced.

I understand the need to keep the world a bit safer for kids, but I personally hate a lot of it. Child proof caps are the worst. I hate them all. Our pharmacist has bottles that the cap can be put on upside down and be just a simple to remove and open screw on top. I destroy the commercial pill bottle tops to convert them to non child proof caps. No children are allowed in our master bathrooms.

Our house has breakable items on display in easy grasp of any kid. The last time we had a toddler here I told his mom our house was full of poisons, and breakable expensive items. She kept him on her lap and that was what I hoped for. Our house in for the comfort of our dogs and ourselves, not kids.
