Im Allergic

There hair,dander,and saliva. combination of all that? i was allergic to cats as a child but its not as bad anymore so what happen? and recently just saved a cat, if i just put up with the allergy attack will i eventually get immune to it?

The actual stuff that is the allergen is proteins in the skin, fur, and saliva of the animals. You’re body decides the proteins are a foreign invader and reacts like it would to an infection.

You can out grow allergies, which typically happens after not being exposed for many years and the reactive recognition cells die off. There is also becoming desensitized, through continual exposure or through allergy shots. While this works for lots of people there are others that will continue to react regardless of exposure.

I’m allergic to cats and dogs, and even with constant exposure the reactions didn’t let up. However, using allergy shots has help for some reason. You might get over the reactions, but you also may not, so you want to try using allergy meds to cope while you have reactions to kitty.

I just started yaz today, and i’m allergic to NSAID and sulfa based drugs, so i’m super careful with meds b/c i’ve had several severe allergic reactions to NSAIDS, I have an epipen, but if i hadn’t i probably wouldn’t have survived. So now i freak out every time i take a new med, so anybody had an allergic reaction to yaz? How long did it take to show up? Thanks for all ur answers!

My sister had an allergic reaction the same day she started taking it.

Shes allergic mainly to the dust they create like their dead skin.

People do it all the time. They keep the house very clean, have certain rooms for the cats or like me, the cats live outside.
