okay my father had bad allergies and was allergic to dander. Im 17 and only in the past 2 years have I been allergic. I love dogs. My friends have havanse and maltese, which are both hypo-allergeric, but I still got sick. People said I might be allergic to the saliva. Cats I am heavily allergic to. Fish are cool but right now i really want a pet I can play with and raise. can anyone explain what I am allergic to and if its even possible or healthy for me to consider a dog? Living on allergy medicines can’t be healthy. Please I really want real answers, espically since if I got a puppy I wanted to get the basic training done before school starts in a month.

recently we have moved to a new townhome where the previous owner had cats and dogs for years, I have very bad asthma triggered by animals. I cannot stay in this house for more than five minutes without my lungs becomming tight. my husband has ripped out all the carpets, cleaned, painted…it is still horrible, I cannot breath in there, how long can the pet dander live, it has been two months since animals have been there . The bottom floor of the home is tile, the animals had urinated and pooped everywhere, we have bleached everything, it is still no better, what can we do so that I can live in my home ?

Is it normal to be tired during allergy season?

I have seasonal ragweed allergies…I do not take anything for it, as the OTC medicines seem to really drag me down. Just wondering if the allergy itself will actually cause one to be fatigues and tired all the time.
