Severe Cat Allergy Posted: 02-05-07 11:47am


My new stepson (age 1 1/2) has been diagnosed with a severe cat allergy. Obviously my two cats must go, but what about carpets, sofas, etc.? Does anyone have experience with this issue?

I don't have experience with this, but if you have your carpets professionally cleaned that might do the trick. And they can do your sofas and drapes or curtains. Good luck.

Most allergens are food either in the environment or in food. Environmental allergens include pollen, mold, animal dander, dust, feathers, insect venom, certain cosmetics and household products, etc. Keep rooms free from dust, keep windows shut (use the air conditioner whenever possible), and use a dehumidifier in the basement. Vitamin c and quercetin both are good natural anti-histamine agents and therefore important in the treatment of allergies. Bioflavonoid mix potentiates the functions of vitamin c. Msm and essential fatty acids contained in flaxseed have the property to reduce inflammatory reactions and are therefore indicated in the treatment of allergies. Thymus is included in the treatment of allergies as it has been shown to calm the immune response. Lactobacillus acidophilus are thought to reduce the potential for allergies. Please note that this is not to be taken as medical advice. If you are seeking treatment, please contact your healthcare professional.
