[quote=Anonymous]Having  many friends with allergies,  aome allergic to  cats or dogs I  know their suffering and  feel for them,
I also observed the  struggles  of wanting  a cat or dog and not being able to  because a family member could not tolerate the  allergens.

What is interesting, is the fact that  few of the people realized that  it was not allergy to dog or  cat per se but  to the pollen they  collectef outside on the  walks or backyard time  that  stayed on the fur and  irritated the  person  indoors;

Curiouslu enough  many people  wait for  pet adiption till spring  or do it  furing  winter when there is no pollen yet,, then  when the pet  meets  spring  IT hits the fan.

It is  truly possible that many  of those people  only then discover they  are allergic to  dog or cat.. but also  the amount of pollen that  accumulates in the fur  can be what is causing their  actual reaction.

Of couree there is  a ton of people  allergic to dog or cat dender per se  but what if others just  confuse it with pollen allergy?

I know people who  claimed they  are allergic to  cats but never had a problem near my  entirely indoor cat. Yet turned that the other cats they  interaxted with  that  were problematic were all cats with  free access to indoord.

Mu point being,  maybe some  people who have dog or  cat reaction, would be  just fine  with  compleetly indoor  cat or  dog?

Maybe people with pollen allergy  should test themselves  for pet allergy  PRIOR to adopting  so they would know if they  can adopt?
Or.. people with  pollen allergy should  consider that  the outdoor  access pet  WILL  bring and  store  gigantic amount of pollen  for  a long  streaches  of time.

This  could possibly  help  to  a degree   prevent some of those  pet  abandments.. rehomongs..

Perhaps  everyone trying  to  adopt a pet  from  any place  should be required  all  family members  pollen  and pet allergy tests?

So many  unnecessary  pets sugger  from people  giving them up  because of allergy issues.  
NONE of  this  has to be happenning!

Just wondering..
