Pets: Dealing With Cat Allergies ~ Pets

  • Cats are one of the most loved pets in the world,
    no question about it. More than 50% of all households in the United States own
    dogs and cats. Although cats are loved animals, cat allergies are one of the
    common forms of allergies. Statistics in the past have shown that over 10
    million people in the U.S. alone have allergic reactions to cats - especially
    their fur.
    The biggest cause of cat allergies is dander. The dander, is dust
    that is produced by the body of the cat. Dander is basically shed skin that
    comes off of cats, normally in the form of small flakes. Although dander can
    irritate your skin, it can also get into your immune system as well, resulting
    in a variety of symptoms and almost immediate allergic reactions.
    The dander,
    once in the immune system, is perceived to be a threat. Even though it isn’t
    classified as a disease, it’s more of a reflex by your body and your immune
    system. Cat allergies occur quite often due to cats having allergens that are
    spread throughout their blood, urine, and saliva. Although a cat may not be
    present at the time, the excretions probably still are.
