hello...i was just sitting watching tv and all of a suddon i felt as if my face was swelling up..sure enough i looked in the mirror and under my left eye on the lower lid is swollen...it looks as if i was punched in the face...this is the 2nd time this has happened to me..infact it seems to always happen after i clean the litter box...but i constantly wash my hands directly after, before i touch anything on my face...i also am allergic to some fruits..although nothing i knew of in the juice i drank ever caused allergic reactions before..what could this be? do u have any websites that may explain this to me? maybe something with the litter box? because last time it happend directly after litter box cleaning..im just baffled by this..im not guessing it needs to be seen by a doctor so for now im just using a cold ice pack..hope u can help..thanks ever so much yall! im asking this in parenting because moms know best! :)

yes, you are allergic to something. you should take benadryl & also wash your face.
have you changed litter recently? were you doing/around anything else that might have caused this?
allergy testing is always a good idea.

You need to take some benadryl aka diphenhydramine to reduce the swelling. You seem to be allergic to something in or near the litter box whether it is the something in the litter I am not sure. It could be minute dust particles that fly up when you put new litter in the box. If you have never been tested for allergies I would consider getting tested and be sure you always keep an antihistamine like Bendadryl in the house.

Sounds like you are allergic to something in the cat litter and you don't have to touch your face, just the dust from the litter when you empty the pan could be causing it. Take a benedryll and continue with your ice pack. And get someone else to change the litter box or go outside to empty it.
Good Luck

Sounds like you are most definitely allergic to something, more than likely the cat littler. Take Benadryl and put an ice pack on your eye to reduce swelling. Also call your allergist and tell him/her your symptoms. Allergies can change over the years...what you weren't allergic to 5 years ago, you might be today.

appears like an allergic reaction, take benadryl. think ofyou've got stepped ahead an hypersensitive reaction to the kitty muddle, no matter if that is an identical you've continuously used, try a sparkling muddle. no matter if you wash your fingers previously touching your face, must be dust from the muddle as you pour it out. must be the juice also. I have new hypersensitive reactions all alongside with issues I have used all my existence. i ought to signify that you're taking the benadryl, replace style of kitty muddle, and go away off the juice till you comprehend for confident.
