allergens.
  • However, if your child shows an allergic reaction to something, it will not help to expose him/her to this allergen constantly. Asthmatic children, for example, continue to react negatively to allergens.
  • Animal fur does not in itself cause allergies. The fur does, however collect dust, pollen, mould and other allergens. The dried saliva on cats’ fur is also a problem.
  • Allergies are treated with antihistamines, decongestants, steroids, topical skin creams or skin ointment, immunotherapy or allergy injections, or antibiotics if the allergy has caused an infection. The best therapy is, of course, to avoid the allergen.
  • Pet dander is everywhere – a study found that it was present in 100% of the homes surveyed, whether a pet lived there or not. It gets carried from public places (park benches, bus seats etc.) to which animal owners have transported the pet dander.
  • Regular vacuuming and cleaning will reduce the allergens in a home. Bedding needs to be washed every few days and pets need to be banned from the allergy-sufferer’s bedroom. If the presence of the pet is intolerable to the allergy sufferer, another home must be found for it.
