For me I had to give up my cats completely for five years! I have been receiving monthly injections to desensitise me against them for all of this time. I have reintroduced cats to my household a year ago - successfully!
If you love cats, here are a couple of tips for you about being a pet owner:
- You are actually allergic to cat saliva, not fur. You react to their fur because they groom themselves and their saliva is on their fur. - You will react more violently to younger cats than older. If you want a pet, try adopting an older one from a cat haven. - You need to make sure you vacuum your house regularly, and use a high-end expensive vacuum cleaner with special filters. - Wash your bedding frequently if they sleep on your bed. - Your body will begin to get used to a particular cat over time and react less often. Dose yourself with 24-hr Claratyne for a couple of months, then slowly wean yourself off.
