Cat allergies, symptoms and how to treat cat allergies.

A cat allergy is an allergic reaction to proteins found in a cat's saliva, urine, or skin cells. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and can include:
Sneezing
Runny or stuffy nose
Itchy or red eyes
Itchy nose, throat, or roof of mouth
Coughing
Chest tightness
Shortness of breath
Wheezing
Skin rash or hives
Symptoms can develop within minutes of exposure to a cat, or they can be delayed. In extreme cases, a severe reaction called anaphylaxis can occur, which can lead to shock, respiratory distress, hives, swelling, itching, and even death.
To reduce the severity of symptoms, you can try to reduce your exposure to allergens. Here are some tips:
Keep cats out of your bedroom
Wash your hands after touching a cat
Vacuum weekly with a HEPA filter vacuum
Use a face mask when dusting or cleaning
Keep the humidity level in your home at around 40%
Cover heating and air vents with a filtering material
Declutter your home
