Help - Husband With Allergies?

My husband swears he's allergic to my two babies. I have my doubts,
though, because he also sneezes and has a stuffy nose hours or days
after he's been around them. For example, when we were away in
Europe, he was still sneezing two weeks after not being around any
cats. When he's at work, he's still sneezing with a stuffy nose hours
after leaving home. This has been a source of tremendous turmoil for
us. He's FINALLY going to an allergist next week, and we are already
doing the recommended things - HEPA filters, vaccuuming more often,
keeping cats out of the bedroom, wiping them down, etc. I'm just
curious about my husband's supposed cat allergies: is it possible for
someone to be allergic to cats and still have reactions hours and even
days after not being around the cats?

I would guess it's something other than cats since when you were in Europe
it would hardly have been the cats causing it.

is it possible for
someone to be allergic to cats and still have reactions hours and even
days after not being around the cats?

Im no expert, but I think its possible.
Also, your husband could be allergic to things besides the cats. The allergist
should be able to pinpoint his allergies through a series of tests.

good luck!

Actually, yeah, that's possible. When I quit my job, they had to retire my
chair, because the next person sitting in it was so allergic to cats she had
allergy fits just sitting at my old desk.

Who do you love more..? Your husband or your cats? It's women like you
who give marriage a bad name. Do you think your husband is LYING to
you? My ex had three of those friggin' ****z-sue dogs that crapped and
peed all over my carpet constantly. I was told that I had to get used
to it. That wherever her dogs went, so went she. Well, let me tell
you, all FOUR of them ended up living in her car, and that's only
because I was good enough to let her keep that car. It was mine too,
you see.
If your husband tells you that your cats are a problem, especially
where his health is concerned, BELIEVE IT. Why would he lie? Does just
he hate cats? Or do they go about shredding and clawing everything of
his to tatters and you won't do anything about it?
Get it together before you tear it apart, lady. That's the view as
seen from my vantage point.
