NATURAL SUPPLIES FOR PETS

Pet Dander Allergy





These are the first two we rescued - Tabby and Tiger. I think my husband really captured their sweetness in these photos.


Changing the subject a bit, I thought you might find this article interesting on pet dander.




My body has overcome a facial rash I would always get from the dander of at least one of our cats. I'm so grateful that the pet dander is not a problem now. I can nuzzle with my lovely kitties when they want to.


But now I have other allergies which cause my nose to run and eyes to be itchy/watery a few months of the year. I think the allergens may be air-born since they seem to create more irritation for me when it is windy. Over-the-counter allergy remedies do not give me any relief. I have tried the supplement nettle, recommended as a good natural remedy. But it does not work for me either.


Does any one have any suggestions? Financially, it's not feasible for me to go to a professional for this at this time.


Thanks,


Debby in Arizona

If it's an air borne allergen, an air purifier may help though this is obviously not possible if the trouble is OUTSIDE the house. :)
I find Zyrtec very helpful in combating allergy symptoms. And very fast acting too.
