I'm allergic to long haired cats and all dogs, and have been for 15 years or so, and I'm afraid I've never found a way around it. I have allergy tablets for when I'm going to be around such creatures, but I've never been able to keep anything like that as a pet, it's just sneezes and rashes continuously for me until I give up.

As for solutions I honestly don't know. Standard allergy tablets work for a while, but living with something you're allergic too....I really don't know if there's anything that can put a stop to it.

It's a shame, I like animals, but I can't keep anything bigger than a Guinea Pig!
