If you touch the cats, always make sure to wash your hands afterwards before touching your nose or eyes. Cat saliva and dander is what causes the allergic reaction, and keeping your hands away from your face will help tremendously. You can also take over the counter allergy medications. Claritin (or its generic equivalent) is a good one and it doesn't make you sleepy. There is a product that can be wiped on the cat's coat to help reduce allergens, but if that isn't available, try rubbing the cats down with distilled water. Source(s): I'm allergic too, but I have 7 cats!
Get treated at an allergy clinic where they can help you develop a resistance to the reaction over time.
Men are like buses, and there will be another along in a minute, dear. Life is too short to live with allergies.
no not really, except dont go over there. i am allergic to cats and they do every thing to me from swelling in the face to my hair falling out. word to the wise...if you know you are allergic dont go around them, an allergic reaction will put you in th ehospital and can kill you!!!!!!!!!!! been there done that!
Be sure you are getting allergy shots to help with your allergy and consider meeting him at your place instead of his. Also have him buy some pet spray to use on the cats to designed to help reduce the allergy. My sis in law used to buy it at her local pet store as her hubby was allergic to animal dander but I can't remember what the actual name of the product was.
dont go to his place.
