First I'm not sure if this is the correct subforum to post this since It would talk about the owners health instead of the cat's health, please feel free to move it wherever your feel suits better.
I wanted to open this topic to share experiences, ideas and advice to all cat's owners that suffer of allergies.
I had asthma when I was very young and I suffer from rhinitis so i was always was forbidden to have a kitten. But well I'm 29 now and I live in my own with my husband and we rescued two kittens.
So, the thing is, how do you deal with your allergies and your cat?
I don't want to give up on my cats so I have to use some medication for my allergies sometimes but I get less symptoms if I clean the floor properly so the kittens won't get many dust in their fur. Also if I bath them with wet tissues or with regular water and shampoo it significantly improve my health.
I also wash my hands EVERY TIME I pet or play with them and I don't allow them in my bed.
How about you guys?
