What is the best breed of cat for allergy sufferers?
sarah_dtv asked:
I love cats and had several growing up, but I’m allergic to them. My cats gave me asthma, and I was also allergic to saliva (I’d get a rash). Is it true that certain breeds are better for allergy sufferers? Is there a way to care and groom for a cat that will reduce allergies?

What are the risks of getting allergy shots for people with severe allergies?
Z asked:
I am severely allergic to dust mites. In his thirty years of practice, my allergist says he’s seen only two other people with a worse allergy. Initially he was leery of giving me allergy shots because I am so allergic, but now he is leaning towards it because I am not responding well to medications and my asthma is constantly aggravated. I certainly do not want to continue taking seven prescriptions a day for the rest of my life, but I’m worried about the risks of the shots. My allergist seems to feel they’re worth it for the potential benefit, but I’m not certain. Has anyone with severe allergies had problems getting immunotherapy? Was it worth it in the end?
