Update - Husband With Allergies

Thanks to all who gave great advice last week.

My husband went to an allergist, and it turns out that although he's
slightly allergic to the cats, he's much more allergic to dust mites
and pollen. The doc gave him a prescription for something, and it
seems to be working fine. I hope everyone who thinks they're allergic
to cats gets tested. My husband was pressuring me to get rid of the
cats, and it turns out they weren't the real culprits after all!

Mary

Often the case. Glad hubby is better!

I had a boyfriend who was highly allergic to cats. This worked perfectly with
no medication. It will also get rid of her other allergies as well. If you get
rid of the cat and not the other allergens, what would be the point.

No rugs or carpeting, only hardwood floors, tile or linoleum. No drapes, fabric
furniture, only blinds, shutters, leather and wood furniture. Easy to wipe down
often to reduce dander and dust. You do the wiping and vaccuming for him.
You'll save time cleaning also.

You wash the cat once a month to reduce dander. Every day you wipe the cat with
a moist cloth to remove hair and dander. Kitty loves it.

Get an air purifier and keep the windows closed so dust, dander, pollen can't
come inside. Wipe surfaces down frequently for the same reason.

Don't ever let the cat in the bedroom. Don't let the cat sit where he sits all
the time such as the couch or his desk chair. Don't leave his sweater lying
around for them to sit on. Tell him to rinse his hands after touching the cat
if he touches the cat at all.

Check your house for other allergens. Is a sink leaking and you have mold and
mildew? I heard of a guy who euthanized his cat as he SWORE it was the cat. He
still had allergies...and extreme guilt. I'm allergic to cats also and this
works for me too. Just keep in mind she'll still have allergies outside of the
house as other people have cats and you can't stop dust and pollen.

Same with me, Mary. When I had the test my strongest
response was to dust and mold, the weakest to cats.
A child's dose (5mgs) of Claritin a day controls it
all. Thank goodness I am not allergic to any plants
but a single kind of tree that grows far away from
where I live.

Crazy as this may sound - pull the mattress cover on your bed and vacuum the
top of the mattress thoroughly at least weekly. Been there, done that.
