CATDOLL : What to do if you are allergic to cat hair?

How to deal with cat hair allergy:

1. Drug treatment: Oral loratadine tablets, montelukast sodium tablets, nasal sprays such as chlorpheniramine or nasonex. Asthma patients can choose medicines, sprays and inhalers.

2. Avoid contact with cats: Cat hair allergies are caused by the hair on the cat's body. The most direct way is to stop keeping cats. If this is not possible, you can create an allergen-free zone at home, such as the bedroom. Strictly prohibit cats from entering this zone.

Causes of cat hair allergy:

Cat hair itself does not cause allergies. The reason why cats cause allergies in humans is a tiny protein called an allergen. It exists in the cat's fat glands and is released through sebum and attached to dry skin, which is the dandruff we often see. Allergens can also be found in the saliva and urine of cats. When cats lick their fur, they may pass through the air. Allergens that cause cat allergies will attach to the cat's dandruff or fallen waste hair and fly around the house. Therefore, curtains or sheets may accumulate a lot of cat dandruff and hair, which must be thoroughly removed. Avoid laying carpets at home, use vacuum cleaners frequently, clean curtains regularly, etc., to effectively reduce allergens.
