Answers: Unfortunately, that can take place. I developed an allergy to a cat that had slept with me for eight years. Neither my sister nor I had cat allergies growing up, but she is pretty strongly allergic as an full-size.
You can get tested if you want, but I suspect you are probably right. It is my experience that allergists will not treat you for cat allergy unless you get rid of your cat. Maybe you will have better luck.
Since I decided to live beside the allergy, I learned not to rub my eyes after I handled the cat, and got more well thought-out about vacuuming and otherwise clearing off the dander. I found I was more predictable to get rashes on the thin-skinned parts of my body, like the inside part of a set of the arm or around my neck, especially if I had been sweating, so I avoided that. I academic that all scratches have to be cleaned beside soap or with rubbing alcohol or they would swell up and itch.
Vets will tell you that it is the cat's saliva (which is all over its body from licking) that cause the allergy. They recommend bathing the cat to cut down on the saliva accumulation. My experience doesn't agree with this. There is a big variation between breeds and how allergic individuals are. The worst tend to be Siamese. The Siberian, which has long hair, has a reputation for anyone hypo-allergenic. My sister, who can't breathe around a Siamese, has a Siberian and has a stuffy nose around him but loves him anyway. She isn't allergic at adjectives to either of the Cornish Rex that I have owned, and neither am I unless I get a tresses in my eye or get scratched. So there is more to it than saliva.
ou can try bathing your cat to see if it help. Be careful. I got scratched so bad when I tried to go in swimming my first cat I developed anaphylaxis.
My sister vacuums a lot and has an air filter within her house. She introduced me to the Pledge pet hair remover, which is a gadget with rollers in it that get hair off furniture and clothes better than anything I have ever see.
I hope this helps.
yeah. you developed allergies. you might have not been allergic to cats since, but it just sort of happens.
i'm allergic to a lot of things that i wasn't when i be little! Source(s): i'm allergic to cats, mold, trees, pollen, grasses, dustmites.
