Dealing With Cat Allergies
Allergies are the most widespread chronic condition in the world and 4 out of 5 people who are allergic to animals are allergic to cats. Some research shows about a third of those that suffer from cat allergies live with one.
Now cats are not the only animal that causes allergies. Many people can be allergic to dogs, rabbits, hamsters, mice, gerbils, monkeys, horses and pretty much any other animal. Some people even think they are allergic to their fish when in reality they are allergic to the algae growing in the fish tank.
For years the doctor’s first and best solution was to tell the patient to find their furry pet a new home. Today people will make that the last thing they will consider. After all it’s hard to get rid of a family member and our pets are part of the family. People are looking for another solution.
First of all let me say, even if you get rid of the cat you will still have cat allergens all over the house. Pet dander is very light and floats around sticking to everything it comes in contact with including the walls, carpet, furniture, drapes, blinds, light fixtures and ac systems. We have had customers move into homes that there had not been any pets in it for at least a year and they still had allergic reactions.
Keeping your cat can be done in most cases however for some people with sever allergies this is not an option. The most important thing you need to do is reduce and eliminate anything that collects the cat’s dander. (Read Complete Article)
