Cat allergy???? Possible????
I am an animal person and have been all my life. As a college student there was about 6 months that I couldn't have pets because of living situations. Now my Hubby and I have moved into a pet friendly situation and gotten 2 lovely cats. The problem is that every since the cats have come home I have been sneezing and congested. I had multiple cats all my youth, so is there still the possibility a cat allergy? I don't know if it's possible to develop cat allergies late or if it is something else.
If you have any suggestions or possibilities I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

I'm allergic to cats and some dogs that don't get regular baths. I have all of the same symptoms you mentioned and I stay away from cats. The only animal I can tolerate is my Shih=tzu. No prob there. I didn't become sensitive to it until ohhh maybe the age of 45 to 50ish.
Suggestion: Adopt a Shih-tzu.

definite it fairly is amazingly plausible. additionally, some people who've hypersensitive reactions to cats, don't have hypersensitive reactions to all cats. each and every cat has distinctive dander, it particularly is of their epidermis. so which you will be able to desire to very probable be allergic to the kittens or the mummy, or possibly all 3 of them. As animals boost older thwir dander ameliorations. so which you won't have been allergic to the kitten, yet could be allergic to the comparable cat because it grows. this might paintings the alternative replaced into additionally, you are able to initiate off being allergic to a animal whilst it fairly is youthful, and stop being allergic because of the fact the dander ameliorations. Strnage i comprehend. in case you do not elect to get rid of the cats, then it fairly is recommended to objective paying for hypersensitive reaction pills to take on a daily basis. this might get very expensice however interior the long-term. Plus, yet another element you have chose to think of roughly is how the hypersensitive reaction consequences you. i exploit to have rats, and likewise labored ina puppy save. I dealt with the rat on a daily basis, and not in any respect had a venture with them. I fell inlove with a number of them and needless to say, i'm a softy, so they ended up coming domicile with me. They have been nevertheless youthful at this element, yet as they grew older and their dander replaced, i grew to develop into allergic to them. I had the comparable reactions as you do, plus my easily eye balls might swell up and appear like they have been goign to come out of the sockets and that i ended up in emergency room. i replaced into cautioned that I ought to get rid of them to a stable domicile because of the fact even taking pills for them does not alwasy supply up my eyes from swelling the way they did and that they advised me it particularly is amazingly risky for my eyes and can desire to effect in everlasting danage. i ended up looking a stable domicile for them, it broke my coronary heart, yet my eyes are extra significant to me. attempt some hypersensitive reaction pills and notice in the event that they paintings for you. in the event that they do, and in case you have the money to spend on them each and every of the timw, then great....if not, stable success looking great properties for them.
