but can pets affect you with allergies?

Question

helth /pets

Answer 1

sure...

if a person is prone to allergies, then there is a great possibility that he'd get allergies from pets, especially from pet hair, and other skin diseases.

sometimes though, people who are allergic to a certain animal (like dogs) can tolerate their pets after sometime. they maybe still allergic to other dogs but are not allergic to their own dog. this can also with cats and other animals.

if you have a minor allergy to a certain animal, you might try being with the pet and see if you can tolerate him... most of minor allergies with pets disappear with time as described above.

of course, if you have a major allergy to a certain animal, this may not be a good idea.
