Allergy testing (finally) in college after nearly suffocating on my own snot (joy of joys, can you imagine the COD description on the coroner's report?!) revealed I was highly allergic to cats (and dust mites). I had one cat and refused to give her up--she was my Portable Family when I was on my own far from my biological family.<BR/><BR/>I changed my pet habits--wash hands after petting, no kissing or being kissed by Kitty, cleaning better/more often, etc. The result: 10 years later I'm retested for allergies and am no longer allergic to cats. Modifying my own behavior and keeping my kitty was like having a daily allergy shot. No chemicals involved . . . and more importantly, no stinkin' shots!!Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06462573861414488660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27902277.post-25685948064723521712008-04-02T19:09:00.000-04:002008-04-02T19:09:00.000-04:00"...I also enjoy breathing in the place where I live" - Brilliant! haha<BR/>Glad you're not experiencing any problems.bunninmonkeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03247679394584539219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27902277.post-86930079221646529152008-04-01T14:33:00.000-04:002008-04-01T14:33:00.000-04:00I just succumbed to a puppy, so I feel your pain!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16719444772965117232noreply@blogger.com
