Re: How is it possible

There is a possible chance you are allergic to your dog! I can't get around

dogs at all or I get extremely sick. They can be washed over and over and I

still get sick. I want a dog so bad too!

There are so many things you could be reacting to! There may be mold in her car

(happened to me twice). She may be using toxic fabric softener sheets or perfume

or shampoo that, now that you are over sensitized, you may be reacting to. There

are a million things besides mold that just kills me so it's really up to you to

start to eliminate things one by one until you find the culprit.

Did your family take him? I'm allergic to both my cats but can't figure out

what to do about it. Thanks

Tug, sorry you had to lose the dog. there is info. out there that animal

dandriff can be quite moldy. when you think about everything they pick up out of

the air, off the ground,ect. with all that hair

no wonder they are not well tolerated. better as outdoor pets.

we have a toy poodle, as hypoallergenic as a dog can get, we have had

him with us, and not, it doesn't affect my kid's health, so we have

decided that the benefits to us of having his happy, wiggly, warm fluffy

body to love and snuggle outways any negatives for us. sue

I have two cats that smelled moldy after my mold problem but over time the smell

disappeared. They will shed it off. I couldn't wash them because they didn't

tolerate water but if you can shampoo, a small amount of ammonia in dog shampoo

might have accomplished alot. Eventually dog or cat will shed if they are in

healthy air.

[Guest guest]

I honestly don't believe it could be anything but the mold and cross

contamination that's causing my symptoms.

My immune system is ao weak that I catch a cold atleast once a month every month

during cold and flu season, someone sneezes and I catch a cold that's how bad it

is.

Because my immune system is so weak I can almost guarantee that I'm going to

lose everything I own and more than likely have to file bankruptcy all because I

bought a townhouse that had mold and yes, I had it inspected.

I don't know what I've done to deserve this but it mustve been pretty bad

But Barb, if you have allergies and/or chemical sensitivity, having pets in the

home can aggervate your condiction.

some may tolerate better than others. like with my sinuses problems, it does

really matter how clean the pets are, just breathing the hairs up my nose for

very long can cause me a world of pain. I have even gotten some pretty bad

frontal headackes from spending some time in a home with a cat. love them, but

the longer that cat loved on me the worse my sinuses got. didn't smell anything

but those hairs were driveing my sinuses nuts.

Hi, This is not medical advice, but have you considered taking any

immune system boosters to help reduce the colds and flus? Vitamin D??

(have your vitamin d level checked firts), cod liver oil, elderberry

syrup, vitamin c, as well as garlic and zinc when you first start to

come down with a cold???

Agreed. For me too it can vary from cat to cat how long I can tolerate it. But

my wife and friends have at times seen me react to cat dander on a friend's

clothes while eating at a restaurant or at our home. My eyes swell up and get

very itchy, sinuses get stuffy, etc. On many occasions, I didn;t even know they

had cats.

Sam, Im the same way. my younger sister resently was diagnosed with some

allergies includeing mold. she doesn't listen very well,lol's I keep telling her

to get the cat and dog outside. grrr. she lived is a house for several years

that after my exposure, the few times I visited her and spent the night it just

wiped me out. I kept telling her she had a mold problem in the walls between her

washer/dryer and shower in the bathroom that were right next to her bedroom.

her cat, lol's has this slight problem of likeing to sleep on peoples heads, if

she likes them and animals always like me.

she's had health problems that can be related to toxic mold exposure.

so far she has took my advice to get rid of carpet but thats about it.

I have a older brother that came down with diabetes not to long after getting

trapped in a corn bin while unloading the corn into it and he says yes, he did

get pretty sick

from that but the diabetes didn't show itself until he went through a stressful

divorse and the doc must of told him stress would play a role. most people dont

get that theres different forms of stress

I've wondered and tried to get him to lay off all corn products just to see if

it made a difference in how he fells.

so both are such believers in what the doctors say, you cant get them to

consider other views.

my sister was rather pissed at me for a long time for not hanging out

like we always used to, I think shes understanding my reactivity to many things

but I think she considers it all allergies.

it makes me pretty sad really. we were all always very close but my illness and

the not understanding of it has hurt us all.

just all the more reason to fight to get this illness reconized and to the

publics attn. it doesn't affect just you but everyone you love,in alot of

different ways.
