I have cat allergies....how do i cure that, since i love cats n have 2 of them in my home?


Answers:

so far, there is no cure for allergies. there are ways to neutralize your allergic reaction to specific allergens by preventing the chemical reactions that cause them. you can also just treat the symptoms, but that usually involved side effects that may be more unpleasant than the allergy!

you can also do one of the following:

desensitization - getting allergy shots to slowly increase your body's tolerance to certain allergens. this takes a long time but may be successful in ridding you of your symptoms over time if your allergic reaction is not too severe. it also means getting shots several times a week for months or years to build up your tolerance.

treat the symptoms - take over the counter allergy medications to mask the symptoms. or, use prescription meds for the same purpose.

treat the cause - this could be any number of things ranging from getting rid of the cats (yes, I know), keeping your house exceptionally clean and bathing the cats regularly to keep their dander and saliva concentrations down (from licking their fur).

i would recommend taking to an allergist to determine the severity of your allergies and also to make sure the cats are, in fact, what you are allergic to! then, try whatever treatments the allergist recommends and see if you can find one that works for you.
