Pet Allergies

Unfortunately, those cute little creatures called pets we easily fall in love with can make us experience allergic reactions. The reactions usually occur after coming into contact with the animal’s dander, urine or saliva. It is feathered or furry animals such as cats, dogs, birds, and rodents that cause allergy symptoms. Ever had to part from your favorite pet or had a bad experience with somebody else’s pet? Join this forum and tell us all about it!

Can a child transmit cat's hair or fur to a person who's having a cat allergy?

My son lives with me at weeks and half term holdays, and I would like to get us a cat. However, his mum is allergic to cats. Is this a problem when my son goes back to her? Mum is a dog owner without any allergic reaction. Thanks, if you reply.
