I'm sure there are plenty of people allergic to dogs, but I don;t know why it seems like there is an overwhelming amount of people (including myself) that are allergic to cats. If I go into someone's place that has a cat and I do not know about it, I'll start getting some sniffles, snezing, or itchy eye symptoms within 5 minutes. Talking a Benadryl helps, but makes me so drowsy. Other anti-histamines can help, but take a little while for the effectas to kick in. What do you take to calm your allergies related to cats?
