How would I know?

Question

How would I know if I was alergic to my dog?

Answer 1

you can go to you're doctor and get a test done. but you can also prolly figure it out at home. just if you get sneezy, with a runny nose, or itchy eyes when ur with it... then you are probably alergic.

Answer 2

Charmed: You can get a skin prick test or a blood test to know for sure. Or, you can see how you react around your dog. Common pet allergy symptoms are sneezing, runny nose, itchy, watery or red eyes or coughing. When people are allergic to animals they are allergic to a protein found in the saliva and urine of the dog. As the dog licks and pees some of that protein adheres to the skin and fur. The protein laden pee and saliva then dries up and either flakes off on its own or comes off when that piece of fur or skin is shed. Either way, it becomes airborne and you inhale it. Then your body mis-identifies the protein as an evil germ invader and calls the immune system into action. The body starts producing histamine and in your blood there is a certain immunoglobulin called IgE. The presence of IgE is what separates allergy from mere sensitivity. The good news is that because the problem is a protein, it can be neutralized or "denatured". To start, don't let the dog lick you and be sure to wash your hands after you play with the dog. I am going to give you a series of links to read about some things you can do to denature that allergen. The first link is for a coat conditioner called Allerpet. It breaks down that protein while it is still on the dog. The site also has a fun little pet allergy quiz. The next link is for a spray that you can use around the house to denature the allergen that has collected in carpets, drapes, furniture and other fibers. The last two links are about how to live with cat allergy. I know you have a dog and not a cat, but the protein is very similar and the steps are the same. Good Luck!

Answer 3

Isolation is not always a bad thing in this cruel world we live in, However to your Question, How would i know if i was Dead ? I dont suppose we would really many people believe we go to a better place, However would we even be aware of this as a spiritual being, or do we simply fall asleep and are never aware we have died. I wouldnt like to presume however i do hope we meet loved ones what ever the afterlife holds for us.

You could simple scratch yourself with your dogs nails. For me when my cat scratches my skin, it reacts and itches.

Your allergies could be caused from candida albicans.

What is Candida?

Candidasis is a major contributing factor to the cause of:

Chronic Fatigue
Immune Weakness
Allergies
Systemic Degeneration
Candida Albicans is a negative yeast infection that begins in the digestive system and little by little spreads to other parts of the body. It is a strong, invasive parasite that attaches itself to the intestinal wall and can become a permanent resident of your internal organs. It is may cause numerous health problems and discomfort for over 30 million men and women every day and it is estimated that many people have or will eventually have a moderate to serious Candida condition in their lives.

A yeast cell may produces over 75 known toxic substances that poison the human body. These toxins contaminate the tissues, weakens the immune system, the glands, the kidneys, bladder, lungs, liver and especially the brain and nervous system. Candida yeast can become so massive and invasive that is enters the FUNGAL form where it provides very long, root-like structures that penetrate the mucous lining of the gastrointestinal wall. This penetration breaks down the protective barrier between the intestinal tract and bloodstream, allowing many foreign and toxic substances to enter and pollute the body systemically. As a result, proteins and other food wastes that are not completely digested or eliminated can assault the immune system and may cause tremendous allergic reactions, fatigue and many other health problems. It also allows the Candida itself and bacteria to enter the bloodstream, from which it may find its way to other tissues, resulting in far-ranging effects such as soreness of the joints, chest pain, sinus and skin problems, etc. The results of an autopsy done on a lady who had died of heart failure for no apparent reason, found that her heart was encased with Candida yeast. Vaginal yeast infections are more prevalent today than ever, and they will never completely go away until the yeast has been cleared from the intestinal area. To make matters worse, Candida may be sexually encouraged from one person to another.

Candida covers the intestinal wall which chemically and mechanically interferes with digestion and assimilation of food nutrients. Many people, especially senior citizens, cancer victims and those with AIDS are wasting away for want of nutrition because they cannot absorb what they eat. Many people digest less than 50% of their food because the Candida may creates a digestive conflict and robs them of their nutrition. Candida creates chaos in the intestines and diseases of which the doctors have little or no answer and can use only medicines to treat it. ALL IMMUNOLOGICAL WEAKNESSES AND INFECTIOUS CONDITIONS are made worse by the presence of Candida throughout the body.

The major waste product of yeast cell activity is acetaldehyde, or ethanol. Many people have low iron in their blood because iron is hard to absorb when Candida is present, and which deprives tissue of proper oxygen. Ethanol may cause excessive fatigue and reduces the strength and stamina which takes away ambition. It destroys enzymes needed for cell energy and causes the release of free radicals that encourages the aging process.

Candida Albicans can be incredible destroyer of health and is may be main missing link in many of our modern day diseases and poor health. The fact that Candida can rob the body of its nutrition and poison the tissues with it toxins may be a major contribution, directly or indirectly to the following list of serious conditions:

The majority of people who have Candida may not realize they have it until they become seriously ill. The symptoms are so numerous and seemingly unrelated that it is very perplexing to both doctor and patient. Candida itself is out preventable and if you have this condition, there is a special way in which your body can be brought back into balance.
