Allergies aren't hereditary but they can come and go. Some people outgrow allergies and others get them when they are older. My little brother had a lot of allergies when he was a kid (including pet dander) and outgrew them, while I didn't have them as a child but became more prone to them as an adult.
The chances are very low. Allergies can be hereditary but sense no one else is the chances are very low. I have a cat and I am 36 weeks. My fiance and I aren't allergic neither are our other 2 kids.
My mother is allergic to cats as well, she develops very large lumps when around cats. Are allergies hereditary? Also if I am allergic to this cat and come in contact again and develop more spots can it affect my baby?
because I have been experiencing unusual migraines, and I’m really worried because my father is severely allergic to Iodine, and I know they inject iodine usually during CT scans, i’ve never been tested for allergies, but my parents have had me avoid all shell fish and I’ve never had an iodine medication, I guess what I’m asking is am I at high risk to be allergic to Iodine? I know allergies tend to be hereditary and I’d rather avoid Iodine if I’m at high risk of having a reaction.

My cat has been sneezing and having nasal discharge for a month now. She has no other symptoms. She plays,she eats well. Just sneezes and has nasal drainage. Her eyes are good. No swollen or runny eyes. Is this allergies? I noticed she usually only sneezes when her nose touches objects or she sniffs. Sometimes mucous comes out with the sneeze.
Works wonders for me, defintely have more symptoms when the cats are due to be washed. Vaccuum a lot and groom the cat regularly outside to help keep the hair down in the house.
I would double check first that there is a true allergy involved, no use going through everything if you aren't allergic and it's from something else. Also look at the cat litter you are using, some have strong perfume or a lot of silica dust which is known to affect some people.
Sniffles, I think you got that name regarding the allergies eh?
First off, if your friend don't mind, make sure the cats can be brushed. You might or might not know this, but it's not the hair that we are allergic to, it's the cat's saliva. They clean themselves with the saliva and then it gets on the hair. So it's not just the cat/s, it's anything the cat licks or gets the hair after it cleans itself on. Brushing the cat before and after visits will help.
Hi,names Jason & i was diagnosed with hereditary pancreatits at the age of 14.Im 18 now & have been hospitalized more then 15 times since my first attack.Also stating that each hospitalization being in there no less then 2 weeks at a time.Its been just 1yr since last time Ive had a big attack and hospitalized once more,but recently in these past two months ive been having pain in my upper stomach again that has been coming & going when i eat.
Some of this is probably hereditary. Food allergies such as dairy sensitivity can play a role. Inhalant allergies also. They are called allergy shiners when it's allergies causing it.
Do not rub your eyes as it can cause bruising of delicate tissues. Caffeine has been found helpful. Look for a topical eye cream that contains caffeine to use nightly.
over the next couple weeks i started getting vertigo whenever it felt like my ear was starting to open it would last 2 hours to 10 hours, not getting any answers from my doctor, i went to the emergency rm.

I was told with my first they don't develop allergies until the age of 1 or 2 yrs. I can't remember which. It's been 5 yrs ago lol. Having a cat will actually help build up their immune system.
Greetings! My name is Tom and I suffer from severe non- food related allergies. Although they can be controlled, I find that my allergic reaction to dogs is so strong that drugs have little effect.
The obvious solution is to take immunotherapy (allergy shots). However, when I contacted my allergist's secretary she said that they do no have one. I would like to rebut her claim, but in order to do so I need proof that this exists.
Hi Kiki,
My cat was just dx'd with herpes in her eyes. For years, we too, thought it was allergies, but no. According to my vet, herpes is very common in cats. The way I figured out what was possibly going on with my cat was to google "feline herpes conjunctivitis." Some sites will give you pictures to look at and compare as well as descriptions.
Discharge from the eyes have many possible dx's, but a simple blood test will confirm whether your kitty has herpes or not.
hey guys, I'm 4 weeks pregnant and the whole time I've been getting sinus allergies from mine and my partners dogs!!
Most COPD is caused by damaged lungs (which could have been done many years ago), or is hereditary. You may want to check if you are allergic to cats. That may be the cause for your discomfort.
I concur with everyone else here. One way to find out if food allergies is a problem, though, is to try a grain free canned food. There are other brands than what I've been using myself, but what I've been giving to Akira is a brand called Wellness, which is grain free. Cats should not eat dry kibble in the first place, because they get most of their water from their food. Remember, most cat breeds originated in desert areas of the earth.
Lol I saw them while I was feeding and and was like "whoa where did those come from?
first trimester m/c's are usually a chromosome defect, whereas 2nd trimester m/c's are due to something wrong with the mother-incompetent cervix for example. good luck to you.
