Off topic, but I can tell you why they didn't have their inhaler.  It was one or
more of the following:

1) It was in the purse/backpack/whatever they left in the car totally
accidentally.
2) It got left in the car because they figured they'd be within 2 minutes of it
the whole time.
3) It got left at home because the kid's asthma was well-controlled with daily
meds and they thought they knew all the triggers the kid had, and encountered a
new one in the corn field.
4) The kid is usually responsible during day-to-day stuff, but got excited by
the outing and forgot.

(Can you tell I've seen all of the above while working with the Boy Scouts? :)

Off-off-topic: You think an attack in a cornfield is bad, it could be worse.
When I take my Scout troop on the trail, we always have a check at the
trailhead that those who need inhalers or Epi-pens have them and that both they
and I know where they are.  8 miles from the nearest road is *not* where you
want to be fumbling around looking for the Epi-pen.
