Im Allergic

I have a bunny and I’m allergic to it. I rarely sneeze or have itchy eyes. I have difficulty breathing sometimes and have to cough which is quite annoying. My nose isn’t clogged, though. So it’s nothing major. My question is what can I do to make living with my bunny more comfortable? He rarely sleeps in the same room as me. Would opening the windows more often help? More vacuuming? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!

Vaccuuming and open windows are a great idea, but a benadrly a day probably would do n o harm,
CHECK WITH YOUR PEERS FIRST!!

This might sound strange but most nights when im in my room I get really bad hay fever symptoms including: sneezing alot, itchy red eyes, runny nose etc…
I always have my window and door shut, and i know this wont help much but i do it anywayz…

I dont think its down to the hay fever but then again i could be wrong?
Maybe its something in my room causing this…in other houses i dont really have this problem…

Any suggestions? Thanks

allergies?Is there anything in your room that may cause you to flare up(plants.animals,bedding,)or if your allergic to any bugs like dust mites or bed bugs

I am also allergic to mold, dust, trees, grass. Pretty much anything environmental that you can think of and this is seriously what my allergy specialist told me. I would like any suggestions. Thank you.

Some people with allergies can tolerate a parakeet. Most dogs including poodles cause allergies. It is not always the dander, but the saliva of an animal which is filled with the proteins which cause allergies. I love animals, but am able to tolerate none of them but a fish. African cichlids are a good choice–one fish–which can grow to 8 inches and live for 10 years. My cichlid is 8. Get a Malawi cichlid specifically, they love and tolerate city water–minus the chlorine.

i have never suffered it before but i have really heavy eyes and sneezing and a tension headache type thing. could this be hay fever?

* Keep doors and windows shut at home and in your car on high pollen count days.
* Wear sunglasses or glasses when outdoors.
* Avoid mowing or weeding the lawn in the summer and avoid lying on freshly cut grass.
* Apply a thin layer of Vaseline™ just inside nostrils to trap pollen.
* Wash your clothes after going out, as pollen can stick to your garments.
* Keep your bedding clean.
* Shower or bathe before going to bed to wash off pollen in your hair and on your skin.
* Avoid going outdoors in the early evening when the pollen count is usually at its highest.

Ask your pharmacist about antihistamine tablets such as piriteze and eye drops, Optrex do one.

I dont have itchy eyes or any other hay fever symptoms. Help please.

So here’s the story: my cousin lives with my mum and I (she’s more like my sister, really), and she recently came back from college with a pet bunny. I love this bunny, but he is giving me asthma so bad and horrible allergies too. I feel sick all the time. Allergy pills don’t seem to do much, and they make me sleepy all the time. I have heard about allergy shots, do they work at all?

Theres no cure for allergy. You either have to get rid of bunny or get used to allergies. Try keeping him as far from you as possible.

I love playing golf, the only problem is my hay fever acts up sometimes. Does anyone know any medicine that can help relieve it while I play? It ruins my game when I get it and then I feel congested afterwards. Thanks for the help.

The trouble with medicines for something like hay fever is that there’s always a price to pay by way of undesirable side effects. Have you considered acupressure exercises instead?

Acupressure is like acupuncture but without the needles. It costs nothing and has no nasty side effects, so what more could you ask for? And more important – it works (but don’t ask me how).

Here are a couple of exercises you can do when on the golf course if you feel an attack coming on.

Locate the two points just to the side of each nostril on either cheek. Press them gently for around 60 seconds. You should be able to feel the side of your nostril as you press each of these points. Relax and breathe deeply.

This relieves congestion and facial pain and swelling. The important thing is not to use excessive force. Gentle pressure is all that’s required.

The next exercise focuses on the two points at the bottom of your cheekbones, directly below your eyes. Place your middle fingers besides your nostrils and with your index fingers gently press upwards and under your cheekbones for a minute, breathing deeply. It can be done at the same time as the exercise above, using your index and middle fingers to press upwards and underneath the cheekbones.

This exercise relieves congestion in the head and nose, and also toothache and eye ache.

Try it and see how you get on. There are other exercises described in the free resource mentioned below.

I do push up every morning,but this morning when I woke up I was sick and I had hay fever,is that bad to keep doing push ups?or maybe I should stop until I get heal?

well you should be resting…but if you want to do push ups go for it..

I’ve never had hay fever before in my life (I’m 27) but over the last few weeks I’ve had a cold which seems to have gone on longer than any other cold I’ve had (blocked congested nose, coughing)… can you just suddenly ‘get’ hay fever?

If by "hay fever" your talking about allergies, I don’t think that you can "catch" it from someone, but it might not show itself until later in life.

But hay fever is different from a cold – if you have a cold for that long, you should REALLY go to the doctor to make sure that it’s not something more serious.
