As a lifelong asthma sufferer I am allergic to most animals and loads of other stuff 🙄
Cats are bad……from one of the many online self diagnostic sites ❗
Signs of Cat Allergies
Cat allergies may not appear for several days if either sensitivity or allergen levels are low.
When an allergic person breathes in pet dander (dead skin), it may cause swelling and itching of the membranes around the eyes and nose. This usually leads to eye inflammation and a stuffy nose.
The skin around a cat scratch may become red as well.
Some cat dander is also small enough to enter a person’s lungs. When this happens, the allergen will combine with antibodies that may, in a severely allergic person, cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing, coughing, and wheezing.
Some people may develop a rash on their faces, necks, or upper chest as well. Cat allergies can also lead to chronic asthma—between 10 and 30 percent of asthma sufferers will have a severe attack ?upon coming in contact with a cat.
My current trigger is the increase in people firing up their fashionable, renewable fires 👿 Seriously considering a Respro this year as I am already struggling during my commute to work. Drove in tonight and even felt myself tightening up driving through one of the “hot spots”
