I wasn’t allergic as a kid..but as an adult my allergies are getting worse. I will never get a long hair cat again. my mom is the same way. Did you know potbelly pigs make great pets for people who are allergic because they have no hair?? I think I’ve also heard that they are smarter than dogs.

My mom, dad, sister, and I all are. I used to be really bad off when I was a kid, but I refused to stop hugging and rubbing my nose in my cats’ and dog’s fur. Eyes all swollen half shut and red, running/sneezing nose, and coughing didn’t stop me from spending hours out in the barn letting the cats and dog rub all over me. I think eventually I built up an immunity; my allergies are greatly reduced now that I’m older and I even own a house cat that sleeps with me every night. My sister’s allergies, however, got a lot worse as she got older and she now has to stay on allergy meds and gets the allergy shot from the doctor, though, that effect is starting to not work very effectively anymore. I also met a girl working at a racetrack that was allergic to basically everything in a horse barn: hay, dirt, dust, grain, and horses. She had allergies so bad that she had to go to the hospital from an allergy attack and trouble breathing. And what’s worse is that the allergy shot that the doctor can give to help doesn’t help her because she’s allergic to the allergy shot. Allergies aren’t that uncommon.
